Daz Tutorial Creating custom room's for Daz3d

[xht_002]

First up you will need to download pCon Planner from

You must be registered to see the links

pCon planner tutorials will teach you how to make a basic room, so I will not bother....

After you have made a basic room like the following thumbnail



you will need to simply export it to geometry, and save it as a collada (*.dae) file using the following settings



after which, just import to daz3d, if you have used the rectangle room element in pCon Planner, you might have to make the last element in the hierarchy of the scene window hidden, if you want windows to work, then you can begin texturing with shader preet's for which ever renderer you use

That is fantastically brilliant, thanks for the share.

I used materials in daz so they are all iray, but in pCon Planner it took me not much longer than the first basic vid, the whole thing took me literally 20 minutes from install to pose.

no problem, shaders are what textures and materials are sold as on the daz3d store

That's a neat one, thx for the share!
Can you open the doors or are they part of the wall?

If you want to save some money, use the base shaders and free textures instead
Here are some nice free ones:

every primitive is a seperate node in the scene editor, you can scale and rotate everything using the tools and parameter sliders

for a model to be fully textured after being imported as far as daz3d goes, the object needs an hierarchy of all primitives like the third thumbnail, as you cannot select single sides to be textured, as far as i know, but i don't look in tutorial or nothing , especially changelogs

I'll try it out and check

its the oldskool CAD world, game engine editor's like UT and idtech/half life source/COD mapping tools are based on, idtech/half life source/COD are all the same engine to begin with

Okay, got some time between other renders. Definitely a usefull program to quickly create some rooms or even complete houses. If you export like @xht_002 mentioned everything is rigged like it should. Materials get imported into daz. The only thing you need to do is parent stuff that belongs together, apply shaders and maybe set some limits.

the room should already be parented together, it imports into thhe scene editor like

> room_object

node_0 [primitive]​

node_1 [primitive]​

node_2 [primitive]​

node_3 [primitive]​

node_4 [primitive]​

​

you don't need to import any textures from pCon Planner, they are tiny low res rubbish

Yes thats true, but if you have for example a door with a handle, the door is a node of the room and the handle is a node of the room. If you move the door, the handle stays in place, so you have to parent it to the door before you move it.

Having spent beacoup hours trying to get effing Blender's Archimesh and Archipack to work, then finally struggling though and making my hallway, I could weep for seeing this thread.

That is one awesome, time saving tool. Thank you.

blender is one of the worlds most pathetic program's to use in general

sketchup is rubbish and is'nt free, and ontop of that, no well known CAD program exports to any usable format, without having to open another program's exported file in autocad first

sketchup is also a junk online browser program which you need the latest version of chrome to work

Unlike others who would say "Liar liar pants on fire" I'll just post the facts.

don't need to look, if you want to make anything more then a traffic cone in sketchup you need the professional version

the future is freecad if you want full BIM architecture design for free, or pCon planner if they add a tutorial on how to create your own elements like window prefabs etc

anyone can open a pre-made scene and render it

pCon max wall height is 200m, you can make your own city towers, or just stack floors, if you want multiple textures, save it as a scene simple building scene, so you can merge it into any full city scene when you want
