MetaMixer for DAZ Studio ~ How to install and use MetaMixer Toolkit to Create Unique Daz Faces

welcome back friends and solomon jaguar i'm back with another quick insight and today we're going to be talking about uh da studio it's been a minute since i did a tutorial on dart studio but something exciting just came on the scene today and that is a meta mixer yeah so this is what we're going to be talking about and that's similar i mean if many of you have already seen the metahuman creator online where you're able to use this uh blend mode and now the mid the metahuman creator has multiple options where you have like maybe more than three slots but this is uh in that same kind of uh approach okay so this is what we're going to do so the key is let's just close that all right right now as you can see it's on sale i'd say over to 995 but if you're planting a platinum club member uh you're able to get it for 3.83 and i think this is worth it and you're gonna see why so after you buy it right it's gonna show up in your dash central and the way you find it that's a quicker way to find it the other way is to find what this is i think would be helpful just to make sure that you actually have the it installed go to your studio as it's over here in das central and do a search for metamixer so go ahead and install it okay and once it's installed go ahead and click open and you're gonna see like unknown screen guide i click on smart content and then do as i said click here to filter go to products and there it is okay finish so this is a double click on it and here are some you know details about the product and what it actually does some you know product notes and installation packages all right so how it works you need to first start in the content folder over here go ahead and load a basic character genesis 8.1 basic model and while that's loading let's talk about a little bit about the the interface interface itself so the way it's designed is that right now they're only offering three three models that you start with but if you have if you want other like mothers models to be able to plug into these slots you those are gonna be you're gonna have to buy those separately and the artist that created this is called fox 2d i hope i'm pronouncing it that correctly all right so now that we have our genesis 8.1 character in here we go ahead go back to the smart content over here right go to props over here and double click on metamixer setup it's going to load it in the scene right here and it's going to create a camera specific to that meta mixer camera over here so we'll go to perspective and then go to the metamixer camera so you can actually see the slots over there right we can do that and i'm gonna load the timeline over here and if you want to see it in a bigger way i just go to render settings over here go to general and we're gonna use active display over there so we can see it better okay go back to smart content and now you go to shaping over here another step that you have to do by the way guys is make sure before you even double click on this that the character is selected so i don't know if i did that let me do that again let's delete that uh widget and we're going to delete the camera as well so we start again okay but first make sure you also go to window tabs and bring up the power pose panel because you're gonna need this okay so we're gonna need the power pause panel over here and now that you have it you can go to select the character uh go to the props over here and then make sure once the character is selected double click on the meta mixer setup all right and that's going to create a light also and it's also it helps to switch to filament bbr okay and then we're gonna go into the perspective view and the metamixer camera so you can see properly right there and then we go to shaping over here so there are three slots right so the top one we're going to plug in hold there and actually you can see the changes of that and then in uh so there's three slots for b c so you could have halt b in b c or c so and then for slo another slot for in b we're going to put nida over here all right she's over here and then we're gonna put the brut in slot c okay so now we have the different slots selected so after you have created these things you just have to go over here go to the metamixer camera and then click on the widget route over here so you can see it has shown up on this side and we can actually let me yeah we don't we can push over here okay now this is where the fun begins because now with this widget selected you can transition between these three models like that okay so you can see that and let me actually collapse this over here and so you drag in this center and it's it's it's like a blending mode and also they have the widget over here the template you can use blending and you can also use move so as you're moving these widgets you're able to move these parts of the the body so you're essentially sculpting in a way but you're just moving them around and then there's also this scale mode inflate mode rotate and then there's the sculpting mode now this one is more detailed because now you're doing more granular adjustments and then if you switch these cameras like that you're able to see like the angle and then you can also go left back so that you can see how the back is looking and then whenever you and then you can play with all these other things yeah so so many things that you can play with in terms of trying to scalp the character but i really i like being able to go into the three-quarter mode over here and then seeing that so go ahead and try it out guys uh that's uh just a quick insight into how you're able to use this and be able to scalp your character and blend so if you're happy with that you can still go back to the blending move blending scale blending inflate there's so many things that you can play with but this is a primary one that goes between the three characters that you've added over here so if we went back so we have over here the different characters but there's also i see toss rate over here so you could put toss rate for example in c so thank you so much again for joining me guys this again today was just a quick insight going through and so now that we have translate over there we can go back to blending mode over here and you can blend between the different parts of the character so if you want more if you want the forehead to be more or of the character and the slot the lips themselves like that yeah it's funny like that so and here's the fun part now that i have a 30 90 card i can actually be brave enough to try nvidia ira let's give it a second all right so i want better lighting so i'll go to my render settings over here go to filtering let's turn on denoiser and post processors and turn this all the way to one okay then i go to my presets over here go to render settings and let's look at some of the this beautiful lighting let's try this all right so now if i try to adjust a little bit i'll get back some feedback over there so i'm still able to adjust and then when i release you can see when you can see more of that and let's go to front let's see with uh it's 24 trying to find a really good light that uh okay but anyways that's just a quick insight into how this all works and i hope that is that's helpful to get you started and again it's gonna be under smart content and make sure you download it using your dash center i mean install it using your dash central click open and you'll be able to find it in here and uh there are other you know things that you can do in here and you can even do like a clay mod version but make sure that you're in [Music] in the filament mode and the lighting you have to have the initial lighting set up for that okay so anyways guys thank you so much for joining me today and this is again it was just a quick insight to show you how you can get started with a meta mixer i think it's uh it's inspired by the meta humans so it's like a meta human crater kind of thing but uh also let me know how it goes guys uh share your thoughts on in the comments if you love it if you if you're using it i would love to see or hear more of what different settings are people that are using and what you've been able to create again if you're new to my channel kindly spare me to subscribe and hit that notification bell so you're like it when i post a new video thank you so much bye for now
