Bonjour
I just decide to install DAZ Studio when i see the last version 1,51
I have tried some Poser Files ( P7) and i cannot load any of them? and DS seems stop when loading
Is possible that DAZ Studio cannot import .pzz format ?
Thanks

DAZ Studio will not import compressed files. You need to use the Python utility in P7 to decompress the files.

D|S reads compressed files, as far as I know. What it does have problems with are lights from Poser 7 - it's a good diea, at least, to delete any lights before saving the scene for D|S.

I just did some test saving compressed Poser 7 files after delete the lights .Yes,Daz studio was able to load.And now i remember another thread about it.Thanks

To be honest, the only time I use D|S is to import from Poser to Bryce. The main reason I don't use it is because I absolutely hate the way it handles lights. I have a lot of custom light sets in Poser but D|S doesn't use them very well and I hate having to recreate light sets in D|S to get the same effects I can in Poser.

Funny thing about it
What i did is importing the lights i used with the scene (from original light library in Poser 7 folder) after importing poser scene without lights in DAzS...and the lights was ok after this in Daz .Render it after.
I must admit also that my principal use of Daz studio is for transferng Poser files to Bryce 6

For poser 7 I just open the file in poser 6 save it as a poser 6 file and it imports into DAZ..but again all these steps are a lot of trouble and I didnt know the other workarounds..thanks everybody.

Okay I give up..how do you save the daz studio to import into bryce and is there anyway to import from poser into bryce directly for quick rendering if you have a poser scene?

Hi Jack With recent versions of Bryce (5.5 onwards, I think) You open studio from within Bryce, do your stuff in studio and press the "return" button. Theres no export needed anymore, its integrated. If you've opened studio externally you have to save your scene and reload it when you've opened studio "internally".

Bryce 5 with the Turbo Import plugin, and Bryce 5.5 and later natively, should import an OBJ exported from D|S with the Bryce preset with textures intact (but note that Bryce doesn't allow both a diffuse colour and a diffuse texture, which can break a few Poser items that colourise a greyscale image - you can fix that with the Deep texture Editor in Bryce or there's a free script in the D|S FReepozitory forum at DAZ).

Thank you both.
