hi guys.. i would like to know how can i use poser 5 figure, props etc in daz studio... i tried  setting the directory contenct to the poser folder and i didnt work.. can anybody help me out please...

Did you select the Poser 5 folder as a Poser content directory? When you open the Directories tab it shows DAZ|Studio content directories, the two are separate - use the button at the top to switch.

RHASELTINE you are a life saver........... thanksssssssssssssss

Just a note for you.....keep in mind that anything clothing wise that says "conforming" will not work in Daz. Conforming clothes are created with poser 5 or 6 and It will open them but when you put the clothes on the character and then pose it, the clothes will not budge. You will have to pose every part of the clothes manually to the new pose of the figure. That could take hours so you may want to stick with clothes created for Poser 4 only. Good luck and I hope I have helped save you some download time. Also Poser 5 and 6 uses material files instead of texture templates which will horrably limit the surfaces of your models. You will only be able to apply color changes and not grain or texture changes.(unless you make a template for the object file with UV Mapper...but that is another can of worms!)

Conforming clothing is the stuff that does work, when fitted to the wearer. It's dynamic clothing that doesn't.
