Create, customise & transport content

Extending the use of its renowned 3D content and toolsets toward game developers, DAZ 3D-Gizmoz has announced the availability of the Digimi Game Developer Kit, which allows users of DAZ Studio to create and customize high-quality 3D characters and directly export them into their favorite game engine. DAZ 3D-Gizmoz has additionally instated a brand new content catalog, dedicated specifically to game developers, which further enhances game development possibilities by providing fully licensed content and models for distribution within any project or pipeline.

“Game developers have long desired to use DAZ 3D-Gizmoz’s first-rate models, high resolution meshes and immensely detailed textures directly within their game development pipelines,” says DAZ 3D-Gizmoz President, Eyal Gever. “By combining the Digimi Game Developer Kit and Developer Store’s catalog of content, we are proud to say this desire is now a reality and builds upon our commitment to provide the most realistic and customizable 3D content available.”

With tools that allow artists to easily customize levels of detail, reduce model mesh and texture sizes, and improve overall pipeline performance, the Digimi Game Developer Kit includes the following tools:

· Decimator for DAZ Studio – Enabling drastic polygon reduction to complete models or selected objects by either a percentage or fixed number of polygons, users may utilize the decimator to create any number of Levels of Detail to accommodate any game engine.

· Texture Atlas for DAZ Studio – Users can easily combine, size, scale or convert their textures into a single texture map. This yields the opportunity to reduce the size of the textures and scale, or convert them to other image formats to fit game engine compatibility.

· FBX Plug-in for DAZ Studio – Morphs, skeletons, cameras, weightmaps and animations may all be exported, directly from DAZ Studio and into any preferred game engine, utilizing standard FBX format.
