Well, I don't use Blender myself (tried it years ago, but never really used it much) but if it's like most other modelers, you can usually use the models, but morphs... that's a bit more difficult. It probably can be done, but I honestly don't even know how. In cinema 4D, for example, I can import the object (.obj file) into C4D. But, there is no way to simply apply morphs. Or textures for that matter. You'd have to apply any textures manually. It sure can be done, but it's a little more work than using Poser. And, if the model is, for example, a human model, you won't be able to easily pose it in a modeling program. If I wanted to pose a human figure in C4D, I'd have to rig (or 'bone') the figure in order to do that. Rigging isn't too hard, but can be tricky & takes some time to learn & do right. Id suggest if you want to use Poser content, try Daz Studio. It's free at http://www.daz3d.com and I think most Poser content will work in D|S. I have D|S, but honestly don't use it that often. Even when I use Bryce (also available for purchase at Daz), I set up my scene in Poser first, then import in D|S. D|S is pretty cool, but I just prefer Poser as I've been using it for so long. But try D|S. It's free =) And take a look around Daz's site too for free human figures. I think Victoria 3 & Michael 3 are still free... not 100% certain though. D|S will be a good start for you if the content you're interested in is for Poser. And, if you're not sure if what you want to buy will work in D|S, you can always send an IM or email to the merchant and they should let you know. Even though I haven't used D|S much, I've never had any problem using my poser content in it. Haven't tried using P5/P6/P7 materials in D|S though, but models, textures & morphs work beautifully. Keep in mind to download D|S or any free items from Daz you'll need to create a free account. Hope this helps.
