The DSON installer should be in your main Poser folder (/2012) so that the python scripts will run.
HeHeHe. I soon found that the content files cannot go in the programs directory of my C: drive, no matter what I do, but I did not put it there. I put it with all of my other runtimes on my E: drive. But, years ago, because of problems Poser had finding my runtimes, I put them all in a directory called "programs". LOL, it seems Vista protects EVERY folder named "program". I moved my Genesis folder out of that directory and everything runs well.
Even with all of the specific face part morphs that are presently offered as DSON compatable, there is less variety than we had with GEN3, and GEN4 figures. The eyes are particularly hard to alter effectively. With all of the morphs available for M4 and V4, I could make those figures look like about anyone. Not so with Genesis. The specific body part morphs are also scant.
Remember, with one of the unhide dial python scripts, you can unhide partial morphs. Some of these will work independently from their full body morph. You can use the M5/V5 head with several bodies, and visversa.
Also, some of the full body morphs produce too much change in some body parts, but you can't dial them back unless you change their Parameter Settings. If you add a -1 to Min Limit, you can dial back a morph that is set too high. Most of the morphs with a Min Limit of 0.0 don't do anything if the value of the dial is less than 0.0. Which is an unfortunate waste. :(
Individual body parts or areas do not scale well for Genesis. Seeing that figures made according to Poser specifications can scale better. The converted Genesis figure is still not Poser compliant on scaleing.
I may have to learn how to convert DS4.5+ content to Poser usable format for myself. Ninty-eight items are not many to choose from. Maybe we should have a thread for DS items that are not on the DSON list at DAZ3D, but which still work in Poser?
