Getting Started
Getting started with the HEAT plug-in in Daz 3D Studio.
The HEAT Bridge is necessary to be able to pull animations into Daz Studio. If you have not already downloaded and installed the HEAT Bridge please refer to this previous section.
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION
The HEAT Daz Plug-in is easily downloaded and installed from the HEAT Bridge Plug-In Manager. Open the HEAT Bridge, right click on the HEAT icon in your system tray, and select Plug-in Manager.
Begin by selecting the version of Daz Studio that you would like to install the HEAT plug-in to from menu options on the left hand side.
Once a Daz Studio version is selected you will see in the main window the version, if any, of the HEAT Bridge that is currently installed to Daz. Below that you will see all available versions of the HEAT Daz plug-in that you can choose to install. After selecting your version of Daz Studio and version of the HEAT Plug-in click the Install button (
).When you click Install you will be prompted by windows to "allow PowerShell to make changes to your device". Click yes. This allows the bridge to place the files in the administrator level directories that the plug-ins need to be in.
PowerShell will now open and unpack the plug-in files and place them in the correct directory.
Upon opening Daz the HEAT Animations Pane will be available. If you do not see it immediately navigate, in the menu bar, to 'Window -> Panes (Tabs) -> HEAT Animations'.
Daz Studio is now ready to receive animations from the HEAT Bridge.
Next we will go through a quick guide on using HEAT within Daz Studio 4.
