I don't think Ken's converter script works on a Mac, so I'm stuck doing it the "old fashioned" way, regardless. But interesting to note: the FBX import I mentioned above included all the maps attached where they should be, not just the diffuse color maps. It was really surprisingly painless.

As for justifying your use of the script, ghostship2, that probably depends on whether you have a membership at the DAZ store. If you do, and if you check your wishlist and the Fast Grab and freebies pages regularly, you can get some DS-only stuff for seriously low prices (or free). I probably wouldn't pay more than $5 for something I'm going to have to go through the trouble of converting to Poser, and every once in a while a $25+ set will briefly drop to a few dollars, so I grab it. That's the only reason I still shop there, as I prefer to do most of my Poser shopping here.
