Starting with Blender 4.1, the Diffeomorphic Daz To Blender Importer add-on will change its versioning schema to match the current version of Blender 3D. In this video tutorial, we will cover installing/upgrading the add-on and installing the BVH Retargeter. We'll also import a body and facial animation to the Genesis 9 Character.

The BVH Retargeter is a separate add-on that can use BVH or FBX files to animate your character. I haven't tested this tool on non-Daz characters, but its settings list about a dozen rigs. I didn't see a section for matching to a custom rig. So if you are looking to only use Daz Characters in Blender, this may be a cheaper alternative to using Auto Rig Pro, as long as you don't need to do too much customization.
