IMHO, it is easy enough to port DS props to OBJ+MTL for use in eg Poser.

Snag is that they are entirely un-rigged.

Given discussion of that gold chain, could it be imported as OBJ then 'auto-conformed' to wearer using Poser's 'dynamic' tools ??

Should be no big deal. using the auto group match to figure in poser, some adjustments on joints to get a good fit. might even work with the fitting room for basics! You need some knowledge in building conforming figures, the rest goes all by it self.

Actually there is nothing to be complaining about :) Poser could handle it as the Program is provided, it did for 2 decades. Right now it is rather to the Creators bringing up something that makes it worth using in the future, not just bla bla bla! 

I had a closer look at the details of he gen9 renders "Boa" looking at the first image "the hands", it is just stunning, ok such a gold chain could break your neck, just a detail. I have no Idea how long it would take the poser community making it up to what they are having now on assets in DS. Only option is to get the DS assets converting them for Poser ! But is that really worth it rather then just use DS? No Idea I am just not familiar enough with DS jet.

Poser creators fell back decades, that's for sure. Remembering times of releases with similar skins and details, but that is past. It is as if the Poser community got a full reset starting up rom zero, just like when it started after poser 4, Poser does do not have a Daz that is providing a good base figure any further. That sure is the hard troth.

I have nothing to complain about, things work just right and it sure is admirable to see that at least the poser brother DS is keeping things up, how terrible would it be if they also start failing, not making any improvements, we artists would have to find another alternative. For some of us it is not easy , some are getting older having a hart time starting all over again.  Guess that was the largest mistake of Poser making that hard reset renouncing on the feeding DS hand for great assets.

it is very obvious that there is a comparison between Poser and DS, they grew up together, V4 made poser what it is today, but where does V4 come from. There is nothing wrong about that, just that the poser community are getting a bad taste about the development of DS , sure understandable. Due the fact that we all know where V4 is born there development never stopped on mesh creations. Poser fell back because the good creators had to fallow the customers interests. I looked at the Daz forums and nothing gave a reason that Poser could not have these models, actually it is the poser community that turned there back from these developments, trying to compensate it with models that do not seem having a great future. 

Customers are influenced by Visual communication and not what you write or pretend on doing with words, not offering the visuals to it. So woow ! look at this, say's the costumer , being influenced by a visual attack. "My Heart stand's still"

 

not trying to make any publicity, just trying to show how visuals affect us, and do not even want to start placing a comparison on how Poser figures evolved. A customer needs to choose where to place he's investments and what will please him most. 

Renderosity is in the same boat and needs to make a gain to survive, no wonder that the flood concentrates more on DS ! Now probably even more. The great words from the poser community should be changed into tasks and not just promises, pretending, wishes. Else there will not be any great future surviving next to DS on the same level, there is no winner , no looser. Rather then to discriminate DS you should learn what it needs to make poser better, the way it is now, only great words with no results, like a Jules Verne but none that bring these great words into reality or Visuals.

I am not a DS user, but when I saw these it was like a fist right into my face, asking my self , " Am I missing something? "
