That's it exactly, HellBorn. From what I've seen in playing, the Poser.exe is used to filter the PZ3 being imported...so it does what it does as far as seam blending, mesh smoothing, welding, offsets, etc. The Poser .obj format is not the complete Wavefront file format; the reason why the Bryce importer invokes DAZ Studio. DS does output a complete .obj and mat. file.
