_>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"If your not going to use DAZ Poser .then what app or app's are you going to replace them with ?....... Yesterday I made a checklist and discovered that the thing might be easier than expected: you have to migrate meshes and morphs, materials, rigging and weightmapping............see mcjTeleblender which makes a more than decent job at bringing into Blender/Cycles Studio materials. Meshes are and morphs are just data, if you parse Poser OBJ/CR2/HR2 or Studio DUFs you can mechanically export the lot into standard OBJ files that can go everywhere. Rigging and weightmappings are certainly the most

complex parts but I presume that if you go from Poser/Studio into a more powerful app it will "only" be question of blood, sweat and tears." <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<_

And lets be honest....Money also From the very beginning of my poser usage (Fractal designs poser2) ,I only ever saw poser and later Daz studio as a figure resource for other

programs.

I use the interposer pro plugin with Maxon

Cinema4D to read/load my poser runtimes Directly in Cinema4D for fully functional poser

figures in C4D for rendering of animations.

I use Reallusion's Iclone Pro to create realtime

Character animation DATA to retarget to Daz

Genesis & Pose6& pro 2014figures.

From the Daz/ Genesis Side there is the Export

.obj with textures and MDD out (point level animation Data)

Back in C4D I use the Riptide pro plugin to load obj with textures retained and apply MDD Data to get the Hollow genesis

mesh moving exactly the way he/she was in Iclone with Daz mimic lipsynch & all

....two lazy mouse clicks and that Genesis figure I

open GL animation preview rendered in Daz studio

is ready to render in a pro pipeline in Maxon

Cinema4D

Find a Mistake..Want to make a change??

pop over to DS make the tweak Export new MDD file and apply to waiting mesh in Cinema4D

What about Dynamic Clothing ?? well two options. Create simulation in poser Export Series of object

files.Save animated pose file of the Actor who wears the clothing

I Cinema4D Use interposer pro to import and

Compile the series of files into ONE Animated clothing mesh in C4D Load poser figure apply animated pose file and render poser figure in C4D with dynamic cloth mesh Following exactly.

or use the free script for Daz Studio that acheive the same result for said series of poser obj files in Daz studio

IRay Daz studio ??? Lovely, Smart move guys

but...Yaawn!! Why upgrade My hardware for IRay when there is a

Free Script to send and Convert DAZ scenes to

the FREE Blender for the Occasional PBR still Image I may do from time to time

DAZ is going DRM??? Yaaawwwn!!

As long as I can Export an .obj file I could not care

less about how content is managed within Daz studio itself or poser for that matter. I dont render from those apps

Those programs are merely Figure&Prop

resources for My Actual CG production Application Maxon Cinema4D Studio.

There are many ways to light Europe!!!
