Blender bridge question

Blender Bridge question.

Does the bridge work similarly as the ZBrush bridge allowing me to send a model there to do morphs and then back to DS?

Unfortunately no... it's just a one-way bridge.

Well that seems unuseful!  LOL

Right~~ if you do not aim to render DS scenes in Blender, the bridge is almost useless. Manual export/ import will do....though it's not as fast as GoZ.

I don't have Zbrush (way out of my budget) but if GoZ is working the same as the Hexagon bridge, the closest you can get to replicating the same behaviour is OBJ Companion:

https://www.daz3d.com/obj-companion

It allows exporting all items in one go, taking care of setting, if needed, their resolution to base, and saving each of them as OBJ with setting tailored to Blender, then once you have done what you wanted in Blender and saved the result (fastest way is to overwrite the OBJ), it will take care of importing them with the correct settings.

It's one of my most used product, and it's a plugin, so it won't crash Daz on my Mac (it just won't work on the current general release, but it's working fine in the public beta), more precislye it very rarely crash it (some time, for an unknow reason, Daz will get stuck right after I have selected an OBJ to import back but it's pretty rare, so I have to kill the Daz process).

hmmm, I do have that as it's a Man Friday release.  Forgot about it and now I'll look into that.  Thanks!

manual export and manual import via morph loader pro are not severely arduous tasks.

ive made many morphs and never thought it was so stenuous to require a live link/bridge/faster process to save you 10-20 seconds of work.
