The OP's goal is to make V6 work in Poser and eventually render in Octane.
The OP has the following: Poser Pro 2014, DSON, and Octane
I've been using Poser since version 1. I've seen all the bad, the good, the improvements in over a decade. Then came DS (this is pertinent, cuz DSON is kinda related to DS). It had and stiil have issues. judging by all the complains from both sides. Both programs have strengths and weaknesses and both aren't perfect.
I've been using V4 for years, and just recently started to use G2F's in my renders. I have a similar setup with the OP.
From experience, DSON works adequate enough for me get some decent results. It is not perfect, but workable. Genesis 2 via DSON takes a bit longer to load and the whole process increases your workflow. I notice the OP wants to use Octane to render his scenes. That itself will increase your workflow considerably. Granted that time spent isn't an issue for the OP, I would suggest to give it a swirl and see what kind of results you get.
Speculating what folks here say about shortcomings of softwares will not get you anywhere. I suggests you just roll up your sleeves and try it out.
one side note: set G2F/V6 subd level to 0 before taking it into Octane. Good luck.
Here are two WIPs. Both G2F
DSON>Poser Pro 2014>Octane.
