"But V5 looks just as bad as V6, so if the problem is with the importer, it's a long-existing problem that has still not been fixed."

Indeed.

Genesis I's joints never looked good in Poser, but my plan was to keep the joint centers and just redo the rest once I could create a "stable" cr2 with a permanent object file, not the temporary one DSON generates each time Genesis is loaded.

Studio-Poser rigging compatibility was never 100% perfect anyway, not even in the Poser 7/8 - Studio 3.0 days, so I took the bad joints as a given limitation of the DSON conversion.

If DAZ can fix it, all the better. There are a few non-human Genesis characters I'd like to use in Poser.

 

"And the old-tech SP3 looks better in Poser than V6 does in DS."

Thanks !

I think DAZ compromised on the rigging to make cloth creation and conversion easier. Most people don't seem to mind, so from a buisiness point of view, that probably was the right decision.

But I do my own cloth conversions, so I don't mind if it takes a little longer.
