Quote - I made this shield in Blender and used it in DAZ to produce this picture:
Wow! I love that shield. I can only hope I'll be able to make stuff like that someday.
As for using stuff in DAZ, I exported my sword as an OBJ file then imported into DAZ but it didn't show up in the workspace. It showed up in my scene and surfaces tab but nowhere else.

I've been trying to find a copy of Poser 5 for $50 bucks or so but unsuccessfully.
Try eBay. I've seen v. 6 for under $30 before.
Also, there's a fairly recent Blender image in the gallery with a DAZ model. If you look for it, it should be fairly easy to find.
The UV face select probably isn't necessary for a simple sword. UV mapping maps the textures on the mesh in the correct fashion. All you need to do is set some metallic settings in the Materials rollout.
I forgot to mention that I have been trying to find on for PC. I don't have a Mac, and that seems to be what most of them on eBay are for.
Thanks to all of you for the advice. This is going much better than it did at the DAZ forums.

Quote - I've tried making a sword or two.. yours looks better than mine did. What I would do with something like that is.. load it into DAZ, position it into the correct position for the corresponding hand, then save it with DAZ Studio. Then you can reload it in DAZ and just position it under the correct hand in the list to attach it. (I haven't used DAZ in awhile, so forgive my lack of the correct terms.) It may automatically re-attach it when you reload it. Can't remember.
Loading it into Daz was one thing I didn't know how to do. I tried saving it as an .obj file and I don't believe that worked. Maybe I did something else, or something wrong, I don't know. Is that the right file extension though? If I just knew how to texture the thing so it wasn't just a gray looking thing. It was supposed to look like Zelda's sword from Twilight Princess. Didn't come out quite like it, but considering it was my first time I was happy with it.

Probably not very original, but then I'm a newb. I started out making a sword. I tried selecting the UV faces or whatever like it said in the wiki tutorial, but it didn't come out very good. Maybe I made it wrong, I don't know. I've attached a rendered pic of it.
Quote - I've imported DAZ figures before..
You can export them from DAZ as OBJs.. then import them into Blender via the same format. I believe the Z and Y axis are reversed so you need to rotate the objects 90 degrees and back again when you're done creating. I believe Blender's import script will take care of this now.I've attempted to do this before, however.. the problem I ran into was, to use an object as clothing with DAZ / Poser, you have to mate it with a poser file that defines the body parts that the various parts of the clothing mates up with. I never owned Poser. From what I've heard, I believe you can import obj's with Poser to create new objects or clothing.
I attempted to do this by hand by recreating their text files. I was able to make a killer whale which I could pose and use in DAZ, but it took a lot of effort.
It's fairly simple to create items/clothing that are used with only one body part in DAZ by importing your object and attaching it to that body part. ie. a Helmet or glasses. This was how I was creating my Stormtrooper outfit a while back.
Thanks a lot for the information. I don't have Poser either. I've been trying to find a copy of Poser 5 for $50 bucks or so but unsuccessfully. Very nice looking stormtroopers btw.
