Hi
Still pretty new at this.
I'm looking for how to's on how to make and save a pose in Daz. I'm trying to save my favorite V4 poses so that I don't have to keep repeating the work. Is there any tutorials on this particular subject.
Much appreciated!
Thx

File>Save as>pose preset, or click the + at the bottom of the Content plaette (that will be disabled if you are viewing a Poser content folder, and you won't be able to see the saved preset while viewing Poser content folders0. Load the pose by double-clicking the saved preset in the Content palette or by using File>Merge..., with the figure loaded and selected. You can also use the free Poser format exporter to save a Poser-format pose file.

Ok, I saved the pose as pose preset in the pose folder, but now I can't seem to find it. Should I not see an icon for this pose in my content/pose folder?
Is it not possible to save it as a .pz2 file like the poses that I have purchased?

A .pz2 is an Poser file, Studio can read and use these files but anything saved will be saved in Studio format (.dsb)

Thanks for the info guys!
I think I have almost got it. The problem that I am having now is: When I save a pose from a character. I try to use the pose on another Character, but the new character gets the body morph of the original character that was set with the pose. Is there any way of avoiding this?
I want to use just the pose, not the morph!
Thanks!

When saving the pose preset, check the Record custom button (instead of Record all) in the Data area, then click the triangle button to the right of that and click Select all transforms.

Yep! That seems to do what I need. Thanks so much for your help.
Who knows, within another 10 years, I may have mastered this program lol.
Thanks again!
