Put on a headset. Become your character. Export a real DUF file.
Glycon3D is the easiest way to animate Daz3D characters. No plugins, no middleware, no workarounds. Just you, your character, and a finished animation ready to use in Daz Studio.
Watch a Daz3D character go from standing still to fully animated in minutes.
Other tools make you jump through hoops. Glycon keeps your entire workflow inside Daz3D where it belongs.
No extra setup, no confusing configuration, no conversion scripts. If your character works in Daz Studio, it works in Glycon.
Forget bouncing between multiple apps, converting file formats, and hoping nothing breaks along the way. It is just Daz to Glycon and back.
You do not need to learn another application or install third-party plugins. Glycon handles everything on its own and gives you back a file Daz already understands.
Your scene, your lighting, your morphs, your materials - all of it stays exactly where you set it up. Glycon adds animation data, not complexity.
Glycon exports a valid, native DUF animation file. It is not a hacky workaround or an approximation - it is the same format Daz Studio uses internally.
Full body and hand tracking mapped to your actual character. This is not a watered-down preview - it is a finished animation you can render immediately.
Animating a Daz character has never been this straightforward.
Load your Daz3D character into Glycon. It keeps everything about your figure intact so the animation fits perfectly when you bring it back.
Put on your VR headset and become your character. Your body movements, hand gestures, and poses are mapped onto the figure in real time. Move naturally - Glycon records it all.
Glycon saves a standard DUF animation file for your character. Double-click it, and Daz Studio loads the animation directly onto your figure. No import dialogs, no plugin menus - just your animated character, ready to render.
Glycon3D exports a real, valid DUF file - the same format Daz Studio uses for its own content. There is nothing to convert, nothing to translate, and nothing to fix. The animation file knows which character it belongs to, so Daz Studio applies it automatically.
No plugins or additional scripts are needed. If you can double-click a file, you can import your animation.
It really is that easy.

In Daz Studio, export your character as an FBX file. That is the only setup you need to do on the Daz side.
Save it or Move it to GlyconFiles/Avatars/
Load the FBX into Glycon, put on your VR headset, and step into your character. Your body and hand movements are mapped onto them in real time - what you do, they do.
Note that complex characters might be missing some materials. This is fine and does not affect the animations, but it looks hilarious
