Daz Blender Making a hole

[coffeeaddicted]

I am not getting it but i think i forgot something.

So, i want to make a hole in a door. Any hole.

I tried the geometry editor in DAZ but i am incapable to make a hole with this tool.

My asset comes from X3D bathroom.

Everything looks fine in Blender. Hole made, shows up but when i import it to DAZ, its covered. DAZ seems to paint the surface over it. I like to keep that surface but not sure if i need to edit now the surface texture or if i can export it via Blender.

Please see my examples and please tell me, what i forgot to do.
Thx.





Its there but as i selected the asset, it's seem covered. Doh.

In the shading tab it looks perfect.

Thats a bad hole
I am not using blender, but if the door is made up of multiple polygons (subdiv plane). check that the normal's are pointing the same direction.
Could be a issue with the normal's. i am just taking a guess here tho.
But it wouldn't take much effort to fix this or do it from scratch again.
a plane + a cylinder with the boolean..

Usually, its pretty easy in Blender to make some alterations in some DAZ assets.
This time though, it drives me nuts because i don't know why it didn't work.

Normals you say. I have to check that.

Is that demonstration in DAZ?

Why not simply use an opacity map?
Take a minute and avoid messing with the mesh.

Open your asset, select the mesh, switch to UV view and take a screenshot.





Crop your screenshot and open it in PS/Gimp and make two black ellipse :



Clean everything except the two black ellipses and export :



Use your freshly made opacity map :

Why would anyone want a big hole in the door?? Imagine just sitting there in the bathroom and someone sticks their arm or something through! That would be so weird.

1/ Map of Opacity (Cutout).
or
2/ Before transferring the file in DAZ split the object into triangles in Blender.

This problem is because DAZ does not accept quadrangular polygons correctly.

My rescue. I will try that tomorrow as it is already late here.
It looks very promising.
I just need a freaking hole.

Well, you could use for the ass or something else. Just imagine the imagination possibilities. Endless.
Never mind, i just carved a size. It didn't matter. Its the most beautiful hole ever.

I noticed that something weird happens when i applied the modifier. There is some tripod backed in. Sort of. Perhaps thats what it is. Daz can't do anything with it and you got no hole (or cut out).
