Next select a hair mesh object and do the same - Ctrl+A and choose Rotation and Scale. This would zero out rotation and scale data, but transfer initial values to the child node - which is a hair mesh. First select a Root object, hit Ctrl+A and choose Rotation and Scale. Before you do that, you need to reset Rotation and Scale in the correct order. In my case Z was almost perfect but Y was way off. Import a base CC 2.0 model and then hair you just exported from DAZ. fbx and specify a name and location to save it to. I have selected 25000 for Cordia Hair (you may go lower if you wish). Click Prepare to Decimate, then use slider to set a poly count (or percentage), and click Done. Bring a DAZ hair to the stage (there is no need to have an avatar on a stage in DAZ for that) and convert it to a Prop. Some knowledge / experience working with Blender would require (at least be familiar with mesh editing via basic transform tools).
Export in advance a base female avatar from CC for the workflow steps in Blender. You have to be proficient with importing/exporting models in and out of CC 2.0. But it is rather time consuming (specifically for the hair) and it is not covered in this workflow. You can do decimation in Blender (or other mesh editing software). Decimator is a little bit on the expensive side, but it is a great tool for reducing poly count. You need to have a DAZ studio software with Decimator. Sorry folks - no video - just a plain text and screenshots (I hate my voice and accent ) Prerequisites 1.
So please share your experience in case you have some additional tips, or if you find a way to facilitate a certain routine in a workflow.
You would most likely have a different hair to convert, which in turn might require slightly different approach at certain workflow steps. It might be the same, or different from yours. I was working on a DAZ hair past weekend and figured I'd share my workflow routine.
