I think I got it working now. Only really good for small pics around 512 by 512 ... had to install it manually

Ahh very cool I also found this https://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/files#prod_58367

Conversion (part 2)

Start Poser and in the Studio Content Runtime, find the Poser Companion File and load into the scene but don’t do anything with it yet. While this figure will poser correctly, it’s expressions won’t work at all.

Now save it back to the folder you want it (Genesis 3 Female>Figures) as a CR2, then clear the scene.

1. Run the Genesis 3 Poser Updater, click Open and navigate to this new save, then click Update. The message will say ‘processing’ for a few moments before changing to ‘saved’. You should now be able to load the saved figure with all it’s expressions working properly.

You will find all of the morph dials, including expressions, in the Body part of the figure. Full body morphs are under the Actor group, with other shaping morphs under groups for individual body parts. Posing and Expressions are under the Pose Control group.

The DAZ character shapes that you can buy, such as Darius 7, Lee 7, etc, all have their own UV mapping, so you will need to do this process for each of the characters. You will also need to do the work of building the material settings – my own are rather crude but that’s because I don’t render for photorealism – however, you should remember to add any normal maps (these are the blue coloured ones) as they add a lot of the finer detail that would otherwise require high defination morphs.

Also, when you save the figure to Poser’s library as part of the conversion, you will ‘bake’ in the morphs you have, so you will need to repeat the process to include new morph purchases.

Another consideration is that as you get large library of morphs, you may find the figure becoming less responsive when posing – you can get around this problem by creating ‘lite’ versions of the figure, each retaining only the morphs for a particular character. I’ll put together anohter tutorial on doing that another time.

Compatibility

While almost all products in the Genesis and Genesis 2 product lines were compatible with Poser (there are some exceptions), there is a much greater number of products in the Genesis 3 line that just wont work at all. In fairness, this product line was never promoted or sold as compatible with Poser, so to a large extent, we have to risk our money on trial and error.

The majority of clothing products will work, while on the other hand, the majority of hair products don’t. I have a thread in the Poser forums at DAZ where I’m starting to post the results of my own conversions which should help take some of the risk out of purchasing. I’ve a lot more products to post about but not a lot of time lately but I will get around to expanding it soon.

Would you post the comparison into a new thread. This thread is about Genesis 8 in Poser and let's not get off topic.

Thanks again for all your work I would love to be able to import both 8 and 3 into my Poser Pro 11 and I appear to be almost there but, when I try to load G3 using XL and DSON and having put both Poser and DAZ into the default Poser 11 pro content's writable folder I seem to get an error that indicates Genesis 3 or 8 is there BUT nothing shows up ... Also can you set up an object/Poser scene like a home or bar or environment then put a G3 or G8 into it using this amazing system? thank you :) and here is a pic of my runtime file in the C/user default ... for Poser Pro 11 content

If that's where the files are then OK, though Genesis 3 isn't actually supported in Poser with the DSON Importer. I asked because that isn't the location your first screen shot seemed to show.

WOOPS you are right, that was an OLD Help I can't see it pic LOL here is the most recent after the correction, but still no G3 Will restart the computer and see if that helps

The Poser 11 Content folder is the default one generated and placed made by Poser 11Pro per the pic attached pretty much like Lulu's video right? The Runtime has all the default Poser 11 poser items again like Lulu's demo ... I think :( ?

OK now if I can just get the G3 figure to appear :) LOL tried it all I have Lulu's videos wil look again ...

Ahhhh thank you I saw that earlier but it said it was inactive :) thank again

DSON anybody have an earlier version? or link ?? Per LuLuLee ... latest does not work well

WOW thanks a bunch :) Poser when rendering and making frames for animations is just so much faster with pretty much the same quality as DAZ.

Hi,

I think that was addressed by Snarly's avfix script. I can not find a direct link right now, but https://www.poserlounge.nl/PLWP/ has a link to download

You didn't need to copy and paste DAZ's promotion material here. I and several others feel that the improvements are minor. We have a difference of opinion and that is all.

Perhaps you can help me. For the past two years, I have not been able to find a comparison of Genesis 3's Dual Quaternion bends versus Triax bends. If you get a chance, could you post up a comparison of the methods. I'm sure that others would like to see that as well.

I just want to say I really appreciate all the work on interfacing DAZ Characters and clothes etc with Poser.
I find the Poser System to be much easier to use and the basic Poser firefly system to render much faster than DAZ for the exact same scene using using older G1 characters like V4 [like 5 minutes vs 1 hour +++ in some cases] That coupled with my familiarity with Poser's excellent animation system helps me make some nice animations quickly

Also interesting how duality plays out in so many things. MacDonald's Vs Burger King, Black Vs White, Democrat Vs Republican, Male Vs Female, and Poser Vs Daz :) LOL

HI there. I have Poser Pro 14 and Pro 11 but the XL xtended Library only seems to work in 14. Also I cannot seem to get anything loaded by DYSON It appears as a button in XL and the script shows up But how can I get Gen 3 into Poser via XL ! DYSONhelp.jpg

Got Poser 14 to work it seems with XL but no figure ?
