Oh, I know you can get the figures in there, but I've also seen in those posts where people get g3/g8 in Poser 11 (I think it was that version) that bending is not the same and many other issues. I meant an officially supported way of using those figures in there pretty much as they would work in DS (rigging, morphing, fitting clothes). Which Azath apparently can't decide if it's something that needs just a little experience or if it's too hard to explain =P (just kidding, BTW, but this is the internet so I got to clarify that)

What I meant with having to pay money to Daz was related to this:

"...'DAZ has since changed their format substantially and the DSON importer plug-in has not been updated to support the newer generations of figures. Genesis 8 is the current figure, DSON only supports up to Genesis 2. It's been a long time since it was maintained,' Taylor said.

With the development of DAZ Studio, DAZ's stand-alone 3D rendering program, the plug-in was depreciated and is no longer supported by DAZ.

'Poser does not own the rights to this plug-in and therefore can not maintain it,' Taylor said, adding the plug-in 'contains parts of the DAZ Studio engine so even if we wanted we couldn't legally reproduce it. Further, We don't have any of the source code for the original plug-in making recreating it not only illegal but impractical as well'..."

From this article talking about the Python update for Poser 12, you can read the whole thing here: How Poser, Python and DSON work together

So I figured one of the "easiest" way for Poser to get better official support for those figures would be getting that plugin and update it themselves for Poser 12, but considering what's mentioned on the article I'd assume Daz would want money to share it, and that's even if they'd want to do that in the first place.

Having said that, I'm curious if you got the figure there and it's also working good for posing, fitting clothes and all that, CHK2033. Like you, I don't have an issue about using DS, but like I mentioned, the good thing about Poser is the render engine not needing Nvidia cards. Beyond that, I don't know, Poser 12 might have some other better things now or in the future, which is something I hope for. I've never understood those with the "get into this app's camp and hate the other" mentality. For me, Poser 12 catching up and even offering things Daz can't do or not very well, means healthy competition which will force Daz to improve as well. Honestly, if it weren't because I don't have time to play with everything I would also get every app and mess around with them, more so if I have to pay 200$+ and might never be able to use it with my library. I even got Carrara for like 5$ and messed around with it a bit with some G2 figures, it was nice but in the end dropped it because I can't properly use newer stuff, heh.
