How come there are free products to get G3F and up into Poser, but not for bringing in Poser only figures into Daz? I have a chance to get a cute character for free, but he is Poser only and I can't afford Poser to use him. This brings many sad days for artists like me.

It's quite simple really, it's called business, DAZ have a captive audience, the only figures/content they care about us using is their own.

They don't have any problems with us using their products in other software, as they have made it relatively simple to do just that. The problem is going the other way, the PZ3 Importer plugin can't see P7+ rigging, some DAE I have and so far every FBX I have explode if there are any bones in the files.

Basically if you want to use 3rd party figures in DS you need to start with the mesh, and rebuild it from the ground up using the tools built into DS, and for about 90% of the user base a total nightmare.
