DazArtificer - Ultimate Scraping Tool
Hello, Fellow ZoneGfx Uploaders,
I'm thrilled to share with you DazArtificer, a tool I personally developed to streamline the workflow of gathering digital content from popular Daz model sites.
DazArtificer streamlines your workflow by automating the extraction, compression, and sharing of digital assets from the most popular Daz3D model sites. With a suite of powerful features and customizations, DazArtificer transforms the way you interact with digital content, making it simpler, faster, and more efficient.
What DazArtificer Offers:
- Wide Range of Supported Sites: DazArtificer works seamlessly with leading Daz model platforms, including:

This versatility ensures you can easily handle content from your go-to sources.

- MEGA Cloud Service Integration: With direct support for MEGA, uploading and sharing files becomes a breeze. Streamline your workflow by uploading files directly to your MEGA cloud storage and generating shareable links instantly.
- Advanced Compression Options: Customize your archives with settings for file naming, including dynamic fields like {TITLE}, {SKU}, {DIM}, and {VENDOR}, and choose from different DIM formats for precise archive naming. Folder and multi-file compression allows for efficient data management.
- Rich Content Archives: Generate product_info.html files during compression to get an at-a-glance overview of products, including detailed descriptions and compatibility info, enriching the content of compression archives.
- Open Source for Trust and Customization: In an era where software trust is paramount, DazArtificer is provided as an open-source solution. The source code is included for complete transparency, allowing you to inspect, modify, and verify the tool to suit your unique needs.
DIM Creator Intergration:
With the newest update v1.7 the DIM Creator was Included. A groundbreaking tool for creating custom DIM files, allowing for seamless model installation and uninstallation via the DAZ Install Manager. This feature elevates DazArtificer from a scraping tool to a complete content management ecosystem.
Included in Your Download:
- The Source Code: Offering you the flexibility to customize the tool.
- A Setup File: For easy installation.
- A Portable .exe File: Ready to use without installation for immediate workflow integration.
Regarding Windows Defender Alerts:
It's possible that Windows Defender might flag the .exe file as a potential threat. This false positive can occur because the exe was compiled with pyinstaller also this can occur with software that performs file operations and web automation, as it might resemble the behavior of malicious programs. By providing the source code, I aim to offer complete transparency and reassure you of DazArtificer's safety and utility.
You're encouraged to inspect and modify the code as needed to ensure it meets your workflow preferences.
Compatibility Notice:
While DazArtificer has been thoroughly tested on Windows, it is designed to be cross-platform. Users on Linux and MacOS should be able to run the Python code directly, potentially enjoying the same level of functionality. However, please note that cross-platform compatibility is based on theoretical assessment and has not been extensively tested outside of Windows environments.
DazArtificer is designed not just as a tool but as a comprehensive solution to transform your interaction with Daz model sites. It frees you to concentrate on what's important: distributing quality content efficiently.
