daz2arp

This is helper Blender addon to rename/mix vertex group from Daz3D to AutoRig Pro. It uses definition in accompanied json file. This will transfer ONLY body parts, no facial, as I use FaceIt to generate facial rig after this.

Tested versions

• Blender 2.93 LTS
• Blender 3.1.2
• AutoRig Pro 3.65.25
• DazToBlender 2.4.0
