- Download and install the Daz Studio application.
- Note the installation path, it may be needed in a later step.
- Download and install the Daz Studio SDK.
- Note the installation path, it will be needed in a later step.
- Download and install the FBX SDK.
- Note the installation path before the version number, it will be needed in a later step.
- CMake is required to generate project files.
- CMake can be used via the GUI tool, or the command line interface.
- Using cmake-gui:
- Launch the CMake GUI tool.
- Click Browse Source... to specify the path where this repository has been cloned locally.
- Click Browse Build... to specify the path where build files should be created - e.g.,
.../build/x64. - Click Configure to initialize the setup for this project.
- Choose a generator from the list provided.
- Optionally choose a platform (e.g.,
x64) for the generator. - In the optional toolset field, enter
v100to indicate use of the Visual Studio 2010 toolset.- NOTE: Other compilers may face memory allocation/de-allocation issues.
- Click Finish - CMake will begin processing and ultimately throw an error indicating a need to provide a valid path to the Daz Studio SDK.
- Set the
DAZ_SDK_DIRvariable to the Daz Studio SDK installation path (as noted above). - Set the
FBX_SDK_INSTALL_DIRvariable to the FBX SDK installation path (as noted above). - Set the
FBX_SDK_VERSIONandFBX_SDK_VSTUDIO_VERSIONvariables to the version of the FBX SDK and corresponding Visual Studio version respectively- These variables are used to generate paths to the library files of the specified FBX SDK.
- These variables allow for easy switching between multiple installed FBX SDK versions.
- Click Configure - the remaining
FBX_SDK_prefixed variables will be automatically populated based on the variables described above.- The values of these
FBX_SDK_prefixed variables may need to be adjusted to reflect machine specific configurations ifFBX_CUSTOM_LAYOUTis enabled.
- The values of these
- Click Generate once the configuration has successfully completed to generate the project.
- Using cmake command line:
cmakecan be run at the root level of the repository with specific options, as shown in the following command:cmake -B <build-path> -G "Visual Studio 16" -T v100 -D DAZ_SDK_DIR=<daz-sdk-path> -D FBX_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=<fbx-sdk-path> -D FBX_SDK_VERSION=<fbx-sdk-version> -D FBX_SDK_VSTUDIO_VERSION=<vs-version>-Bwill set the path to the generated files.-Gspecifies the Visual Studio generator version.-Twill specify the compiler toolset.-Dis used for setting the cmake variables for the build.- Configuration and generation of project files are both performed using the above command.
- Launch the project in Visual Studio and build the solution.
- If the build is successful, copy
dzfbximporter.dllfrom the project output directory. Paste the library to thepluginsfolder under Daz Studio install location.- This step will replace the existing FBX importer plugin file that is bundled with the application.
- Installing the application again will replace this file to the version distributed with it.
- Uninstalling the application will remove this file.
- Alternatively, the previous step can be automated by setting the
DAZ_STUDIO_EXE_DIRvariable while generating the project. In this case, while building the solution, make sure to quit any active instances of Daz Studio.- NOTE: Visual Studio may need to be run with admin privileges if the
DAZ_STUDIO_EXE_DIRvariable is pointing to a protected path likeProgram Files. - This step will replace the existing FBX importer plugin file that is bundled with the application.
- Installing the application again will replace this file to the version distributed with it.
- Uninstalling the application will remove this file.
- NOTE: Visual Studio may need to be run with admin privileges if the
- Daz Studio is now installed with the built version of the plugin.
