There are several versions of FBX format as well. You mentioned your file is quite old. There is a free utility by Autodesk to convert formats:
https://www.autodesk.com/developer-network/platform-technologies/fbx-converter-archives
"FBX Converter Archives
Transfer files from one file format to another quickly and easily with the FBX Converter. This utility enables you to convert OBJ, DXF™, DAE, and 3DS files to or from multiple versions of the FBX format. "
I'm downloading it now. I know that Poser certainly isn't autodesk or Maya but I saved roughly 4500 dollars by using Poser. I still don't have an UV mapping utility (which I think is a good idea. I was told in the Poser Wishlist thread that it isn't necessary as there are other UV tools out there. None were listed. The ones I know of like UVMapper are a bit costly on my current budget. I do carry a CS6 subscription (Crunchyroll or CS6 was a difficult choice. It IS better to own the software outright than a subscription. I used to think otherwise). Wish me luck at the next job fair so I won't have to choose. The question I have is how, in your experience, is the FBX converter better than importing the FBX into Blender and then outputting it as an OBJ that Poser can handle. I don't have lightwave or Zbrush. I have Poser, Cs6 and DS (which I rarely use but it's necessary when I want to convert DUF files.)
File edited to include that I scanned converter exe file with both my virus protection (classified) and Malwarebytes. It's clean. One of my favorites people in the forum got hit recently and it's best to learn while you can. Life normally tells you what to do. One must only be able to listen and act.
