I've done something similar to RedPhantom. Only I exported the base Genesis 2 Male and Female figures ( with the required morph packs installed in DS before export). I use Poser Pro 2014 to make reference images for my 2D work so I don't have to worry about how things render.  I load a Genesis 2, make the required character and save it to the library as usual. The one thing I did discover is that the exported DAZ Studio content prefers to live inside the main Poser Pro 2014 directory. On my computer Poser lives outside the main Program Files directory ( windows 8.1).  I like to keep that main directory as free of content as possible so most of my stuff lives on external runtimes located on a folder on my Desktop.  This makes things a lot easier to re-install in the event of a hard drive failure

If I put any exported DAZ Studio content into the external runtime then Poser acts strange. I get multiple references to that library inside Poser and if I try to load something Poser will crash.  I found that keeping the exported content in the downloads folder inside the main Poser directory makes everything work perfectly. Poser's happy and I can use the Genesis related stuff without issues.  The only thing I have to remember is that IK doesn't work, but that's no biggie for me.

I used the same strategy to get the DAZ Horse 2 into Poser as well as other DAZ figures ( like the tack for the horse). I've also used the Poser Format exporter inside DS 4.7 to export poses and that also works well.
