@Razor42 You are correct there is some exceptions but the procedure is an ugly frankenstein affair. I export characters out of Daz for use in animation. I am stuck with the Genesis, Genesis 2 M&F and all of their derivatives. Pre Gen is out and Genesis 3 at this point is also a possibility and I have sent some versions out but the manual work required make this concept somewhat ordinary for the net result. I managed Laura but by time I finished it was a Genesis 2 Laura lookalike and sitting back looking at her it was apparent that the time spent was out of curiosity over any real desire to have Laura appear in a short film or music clip. Aiko 3 I would love to use Victoria 4 is another character I would really like to sort and to date I have managed to export and everything looks great some adjustments later she looks identical to the V4 in Daz. I have managed to overcome some issues. However as stunning as she is once gifted with a motion file bvh etc the sheer beauty soon becomes a thing of the past. There is nothing sexy about V4 when her breasts have passed through her body and trail a foot behind her. Good for one horror flick only I guess. The breastback of notre dame is a good starting point. Poser characters I can take them out no probs but I have to work on the motions using keyframe save I am currently creating a couple of simple walks etc in a curve editor to save the motion files and see how it goes in the target application I would only consider the couple of anime characters . Again with so much on the market these characters are so yesterday *(All platforms not a Poser dig) The earlier stuff can sure have a high polycount vs quality that is not really worth the trouble for animation, My Genesis clothed usually exceeds anything of similar setup on a G2 by 200'000. This is also why I am not too worried about the DRM the gaming industry is huge Daz are hardly going to be taking themselves out of the market. If I pay for the right to use I expect that right to be honored. I have other character builders that do a great job so I don't have to get down on my knees and beg for mercy either. Ability to do this stops the money stops and this would not be out of spite just no further use. I purchased Daz's 3D Morph characters packs in Unity a month or so ago so I am sure they have their interests well and truly in letting people carry on as normal.
