      • Make sure any clothing or hair is parented to the main body.
      • Locate Daz to Unreal under File>Send To>DaztoUnreal.
      • A dialog will pop up and choose where you wish to export too; choose the name you wish the folder in Unreal to be and choose what type of conversion you wish to do: either “Stash Mesh” (no skeleton), “Skeletal Mesh” (Character or with joints), or “Animation” (character must already be transfer).
      • Choose which Morphs you wish to transfer (unstable at the moment).
      • Leave the port as default if you wish the file to automatically import in Unreal.
      • Once you press accept, the file will transfer over in Unreal. If this does not happen automatically in the bottom left press import and locate the file where you exported to with the .dtu extension. Read more at Starting an Import Manually
      • After that, you’re done and your character is ready for whatever comes next!
