Poser 8 will still work with a lot of new content. You don't want anything that uses Superfly exclusively and some items probably have materials that may not work. There are some python script tools that won't work with Poser 8, so watch out there. A lot of stuff still works with Poser 8. The new Dawn figure should work fine though I have to admit I haven't tried it in Poser 8. Several of the new Poser original figures sold here should work (though V4 and M4 items have the best chance of working). You'll need to check the readme files which are free to check :) Even at Daz you can still find some older items that work that go back to probably Poser 5 or 6 (though you'll really have to search) for Victoria 3, Aiko 3, Michael 3, Hiro 3, and David 3 and Stephanie 3.

I just picked up several items here for poser that were new. Flinks new spider web is on my shopping list for this or next week. There is a lot of the new D/S items, If the items were native (and not Dson) also to Poser, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Sadly if I see anything I want that's D/S, it's up to me to try to convert it myself to use specifically in Poser (very limited success) for personal use. I would buy a program that would do an easy conversion of D/S items to Poser along with converting the item for older models. That said I am aware of some ways to do this myself with a lot of editing. *waves money at vendors to interest them in saving me tons of time :) *waves money at artists teaching me to make stuff better in general :D *looks for general "Make Art" button for life.

Thank you for this news Anthony!

Totally missed this... :(

Tada... Link follows. Hopefully it posts correctly.

It would be nice if they would make up again and offer easy use in poser. Importing can be done but it's just so much trouble versus having content that's easy to load. That said a good open source figure that could easily be used by both software programs would be great.

You should watch the original Willy Wonka. It's dated but still has many moments :)

What's that quote....

Willy Wonka: Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple. Mrs. Teevee: That's 105 percent.

Sounds like you've got it working then :) Sorry the vid wasn't helpful.

Ah... this might help a tiny, tiny bit. It's a youtube tutorial exporting from Poser to Blender then back to Poser

I don't have zbrush but I would think you'd export the head, neck, and teeth if your previous attempt didn't change anything else with eyes, nose, mouth, or cheeks. You could leave off the eyes and probably the tongue. The other option you could try is to use Poser's morph brush to correct the jawline deformation. It would probably be quicker to do the correction in zbrush, but it should be possible in Poser to correct that depending on how severe the deformation.

When you've searched for threads, did you specifically search for zbrush or modelling the attempt in any general 3d modelling program? That might give a few more chances for finding answers... maybe....

I suppose it's better than something like V iteration 105215767.8 lol

Thanks EClark1894, I didn't even catch that... so no Genesis 4-7? They are just sort of jumping around skipping numbers now? I understand someone wanted to match but that's kind of a big skip there....

There are some tricks to import those into Poser but they are made specifically for Daz Studio. I had a friend who was in a similar boat of just returning and I had to explain the different naming of Generation 4 versus Genesis 1-8. It didn't help that V4 was Gen 4, and V5 referred to as Gen1 (Genesis shortened) in several forums. V8 is Genesis 3. Kind of confusing no? lol I spent about three conversations explaining. I'm kind of surprised there's no official page. A general sort of history of the evolution of characters would be nice. Kind of a flow chart timeline.

Very nice work! Many thanks, will be looking at this once I get Boris.
