Just adding my $2e-02, the majority, if not all, HD morphs used by DS are stored in an undocumented, encrypted format (I've written a DSON file format parser in Python for Poser, which, apart from not yet (if ever) translating dual quaternion weight maps directly to triax or converting IRay shaders to FF or SF, can access everything except encrypted HD morph data without recourse to any other software). Without some component of DS, be it the Poser DSON addon, or otherwise, there is no access to that unencrypted HD data. Since there would be no point at all to encryption if the HD morph data were freely portable to other platforms without maintaining some component of DAZ oversight, I do not believe that they would make that data transferable via any export pipeline into an unencrypted format. Hence no HD morphs ever in iClone or LightWave, without a policy change in that regard.
Verbosity: Profusely promulgating Graham's number epics of complete and utter verbiage by the metric monkey barrel.
