I've got a request from a client to write a utility that effectively converts DAZ style morphs (*.dsf, which is a reasonably well documented JSON based file format) into C4D style morphs (*.pmo, which is what the Pose Morph tag can load).
Problem is...
There is zero documentation about the PMO file format. Anywhere. The only documents I can find about any of the C4D file formats date back from 1997, and those are apparently for the *.c4d files, not *.pmo.
So I was wondering...
Does anyone know how the PMO format works? Is it supported by Melange somehow? The only references I can find to it in the Melange documented are marked "private" (which isn't very helpful...). Is the PMO file format a subset of the C4D file format?
Ideally, I'd like to keep this thing as a separate command line utility (rather than a plugin for C4D), because the client has explicitly requested that I convert DSF -> PMO directly (instead of importing into C4D, then having to manually save out the PMO files in the Pose Morph tag one by one).
