Tip for using Kitbash3D Kits

[John]

If it'd appear your PC and/or D|S can't handle a Kitbash3D Kit, such as "Medieval Siege";

Try opening it in 'solid view' shading in Blender and exporting it for usage in D|S. Thanks to Melonlord for the tip.

Here's the trick, no need to spend 1k pts for it
Open the .blend file, make sure it's in solid viewport shading, then select assets which you don't want, then press H to hide it or you could just delete it, and then save it (use save as). I always use this trick for KB3D, and it works every time

First time my Blender straight-up crashed. Tried again with your tip, and it worked. Thanks!

Edited the post to reflect this.

I'm not well versed in Blender; how does that help? What is it supposed to do?

[Abad]

@hellwolve , separates all the .blend objet of Kitbash in independants objects, auto.

Interesting 🙂 Think I'll give it a try, then.

Is it easier/ quicker to do in Blender rather than on DAZ itself using geometry editor? I use geometry editor to save the props I need as an obj file...and these files can get huge.

[Abad]

In Maya format is easier.... Just open "outliner/select group/and export select as aobj..."
Then, import to daz (after texturize if no .mtl file is present..)
In Blender, after the script, save the "collection", but sometimes, is ungrouped..

Thanks! I'm actually not that familiar with blender..will try to do something similar on Max.
