I hate that new tab, maybe because I don't understand how to use it, or even what it's really for.   I do miss the old Simple tab.  

I need to get working Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 models, clothing, accessories and poses into Poser 12.  Without running DS anywhere at all.  It does not exist.

I stil don't understand how installing CS/DIM works in relation to exporting an FBX format of the assets. I'm sorry. It appears I have a basic lack of understanding of how this is necessary.

SO, what other way is there to get the duf format Genesis 3 through 8.1 Figures into Poser?  There is a way.   IT is written and working.   But a "Power That Be" (the one in charge of all Poser development) stomped their foot down and said "There is no way in Hell Poser will ever use Genesis 8!"

It is everything to the discussion from MY viewpoint.

Hiya SnarlyGribbly!   Great to find this thread man.   Got it bookmarked!

Sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you!

Hi folks!   Problem here getting any of my Genesis/Genesis 2 content into Poser 12.   I can't.   And there will *NOT* be any DS 4.xx installed on my system(s).  I learned a year ago that the Daz3D DIM/CMS have to be installed and running for Studio 4.xx to function.  Oh the frame of it runs and seems stable, but it won't DO anything at all except throw up the "Studio must be logged into the CMS for this function to work!"  and I have only the OK to click.  That's no good, because leaving those two data bandits running full time in my system is not acceptable.  I am using Win 10 Pro on this rig.  I find that some of my old net tools still work fine, and watched, saddened, as the CMS was exporting some of my BANK info out into the void.   DS was not running, NO Daz program was running, other than the DIM/CMS, and that info has no business in Daz3D's possession.  EVER.   So that is why no version of DS4.xx is installed nor is any scrap of the DIM/CMS combo installed.  Their running 24/7 is a bad enough reason to uninstall them.  Their little data robbery is absolutely inexcusable. 

So, without DS 4.xx even installed, and DSON no longer functional, how DO I get all my Genesis/Genesis2 content into Poser 12?  I bought quite a bit of it and really enjoyed using it all in P9 thru Poser Pro 2014.   (I DO keep DS 3.0 Advanced installed, I paid for that one!)

I want to master use of P12, and see there are a number of things that will require some serious study to get it down.  The Materials Room is now missing the Basic view that that bites royally.   It is a pain doing the basic type stuff in the Advanced view.   That other thingie?  I do not get that thing at all.   To coda; there are a number of things that require serious study.

I will not put up with any heckling over my using the Genesis/Genesis2 content I BOUGHT alongside the POSER content that is both free and PAID for.    Most of my content is Poser based in the first place.   I bought into La Femme Pro 2 and LeHomme as well.   So leave it be concerning the DS content I also use. 

Thank You In Advance!

That set was DM's Eclectica.
https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=107866 Their contemporary styled sets are every bit as fascinating as their Sci-Fi/Fantasy sets. I doubt there is room enough to pile everything that comes in that set into one scene. Looks like I tried in that one though, ha!

As promised, a simple body shot of Aiko 3. The character is DINA, by Christel-B, Freja and Alicelefay, circa 2007. I like the whole Goth look of this character, but the sweetness of her just shines right through. I spent time cleaning the full belly tattoo off for a separate skin. It's fine for some things, but not all. l hope you enjoy this! McG. The makeup is Dina's. That is BC Mega Pak outfit, the A3 version by Shadownet & lwperkins circa 2009.

WOW! SO I am not the only geek who feels Aiko 3 is NOT "DeadNBury'ed" !! Even today in the midst of all the fantastic Figures we all have at our fingertips; We still turn to little Aiko for some great looks. You have all posted some wonderful images with just "AIKO!" as the subject. I am smiling, and almost in tears. For happiness. Mind if I share one? Aiko3, and Wistfully Yours dress by Ryverthorn and Lobo75 circa 2007. Still one of the most elegant and beautiful outfits available in our world. Stands well against the best done in the MFD! Dozens of add-on textures help its longevity! Oh all right I'll post a body shot of A3 next.

Very nice work, thanks much for sharing it!

Five years on, little lady, and you are still missed so much. Doesn't seem real that you aren't actually still home, sharing and still enjoying your Art to the max. God Bless you, and sleep well. We'll all be along soon. Michael "McGrandpa" McCollum

Resigning from use of Bondware Poser (pick a version). Issues not tended appropriately: Poser will not run without an Internet connection.
Poser will no longer load; the long established use of Genesis and Genesis 2 Figures and DAZ content.
Poser Library will not retain position, size and separator locations. The End

The "support team" is still totally secretive about what they are doing. We get brushed off. While I am fond of Poser itself I am not fond of the lack of treatment we get.

Well I'll be. There were 2 notifications from them in Junk Mail.

there are no notifications from them at all. I checked back and they closed my ticket. Said it was a known issue to be corrected in a future patch release.

IF WE go offline for weeks or even months, then we lose Poser. This ensures that I have now bought my last version of Poser. That is just plain BAD.
