Dear community,

I am trying to import a V4 character into Blender and stumble.
The basic obj imports fine from DAZ Studio but the textures don't quite.

I let Studio's export write a obj,mtl and collect maps and everything is put into a folder. I open the obj in Blender and while I mostly can see the textures in Object mode viewport, when rendering they come out slightly wrong and extremely pale. I also get a sawtooth like pattern over the shaded mesh, which seems to appear like material groups - and can't find a way to select the eyes or finger nails?

Can someone please give an amateur a solid run down on how to import a textured obj with everything needed to render well?

My aim is to import characters to try my hand at learning to make clothing. But I also would like to try Blender SSS and several other renderers on customised fully textured characters.
