I recently bought Vue Infinite 5 and I'm having problems with my poser6 wich means for me I have to use my Daz wich I like.My problem is I have noi idea how to bring it into vue.When i save in Daz it saves as a daz file wich vue does'nt seem to recognize.Can anyone  point me in the right direction in rendering any figure from daz to vue?

Export the object from DAZ as a poser object 
Make sure that Use object name(s) root is marked 
the only two things that shouldn't be marked are 
Swap Y and Z orientation 
and 
Convert maps (for Bryce)
and then import the object into Vue

When I attempt to export the only formats that I see are Wavefront Obj and Biovision Bvh... I don't see an option for Poser.....

pick the wavefront obj and go on to the next screen. I am assuming that you are using the uptodate version of DAZ Studio :)

Yes... I have the lastest version of DAZ. Just downloaded it this weekend past. However I can only export as an obj or bvh. I don't see any file format for DAZ or even Poser for that matter...

OBJ is what is wanted.

I thought DAZ had it's own format....

Export as an object and then pick Poser

Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought Poser models did not use the OBJ extension and used their own PZZ or something? I know OBJs can be imported into Poser...BUT....

However I am still confused....

In this case OBJ is the format of the mesh file, the Poser option mentioned is a choice for the scaling on export.

Poser uses the other extensions to hold the none mesh information (which D|S can read but not write) :-
Characters => CR2 (CRZ for compressed)
Props => PP2 (PPZ for compressed)
Scenes => PZ3 (PZZ for compressed)

You are not saving it as a poser file you are exporting it from DAZ Studio as a poser type objt to import into Vue :)
