Quote - Poser generously allows its files to be used in other applications including DAZ Studio. DAZ Studio does not return the curtesy

Hmm, is this thread suggesting that DAZ do something about writing out Poser format files? For example be able to save cr2, pz2, etc? 

Well, as far as I know they may not do that for legal reasons, not due to lack of courtesy.  Back in Poser 5 release days when DS was still in alpha (iirc) it was asserted by the Curious Labs prez that "We do claim ownership of the formats to a degree that they would be used to create a competitor to Poser."
The quote I make is from:
http://poserpros.daz3d.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=32842#32842

So no go on "competitors" like DAZ writing out Poser format files!

Third party plugins may be able to do something, but DAZ hands are tied... as far as I know.

Also, it seems e-frontier should be quite free to write something for Poser to read DS files, just like DS reads Poser files.
