Is there a Daz dson importer for the new Poser 11 to get Daz Genesis figures into Poser? The existing dson importer that I have seems to be looking for Poser 2012 or 2104.

The current one used to work with Poser 11. I haven't tried with Poser 11.2.
But this is DAZ 3D software. Please check their site for current info!

Andy!

I used the "Early Adopter" version of Poser 11.2, and I can confirm that DSON worked perfectly to import a Genesis 2 figure and prop into Poser. I had no problems whatsoever – it behaved exactly the same way it always has.

Thanks! Nice to know that it is working. As for installing it, I didn't see this earlier discussion about "lying" to the Daz DIM by manually changing the name of the file path (if I understand it correctly)--I haven't tried this myself yet, but will give it a try tonight and will report back!

I forgot all about that part. Yes, when installing the DSON importer you will need to manually reset your directory path to your current Poser Pro 11 directories.

Interesting that others think Poser 11 worked with DSON and G2F import. I do a lot of that, and after the 11.1 update, I could no longer apply 'poses' to G2F figures with clothing conformed. As near as I could tell, (for example) a HAND pose in DUF format wondered off down the conformed clothing & did nothing (or worse). Pretty much broke my work. Eventually I uninstalled 11 and went back to PoserPro 10/2014. So 11.0 had worked fine, but 11.1 didn't. I doubt I'll go down the Poser 11.2 rabbit hole, but ..

.. my questions:

would I need to reinstall 11.0/11.1 to trial the 11.2? Or is this stand-alone?
will installing 11.2 break my PoserPro 10? I remember installing 11 changed the way my 10 worked. Maybe that was the problem - 11 & 10 mixed somehow? Shouldn't have two versions at the same time?

You can have multiple versions of Poser as long as they occupy their own installation folders. Once you integrate the core runtimes in any way, you will break Poser. I have Poser 11.2 and Poser Pro 2014 coexisting with no problems for each setup.

Hmmm. After rereading your post, I'll attempt to duplicate your results. However, based on my quick test last night, I can confirm that I:

Imported the G2M figure with the Ryder character applied.
I conformed clothing to him (some kind of Elfin Warrior britches, bracers, belt and boots).
Applied a pose to him.

And this is where it got WEIRD.

The first time I applied a random pose to Ryder/G2M, the clothing flew all over the place.
I undid the pose but the clothing was still not where it should be.
I reverted to the previously saved (clothed but unposed) version.

I then hunted down a DAZ Original pose set (Variety Poses for Michael 6) , thinking that maybe they would work better than a pose by someone else.

And they did!

The poses applied without any problem. No flying clothes, etc. And this is the weird part. I went back to the original random pose I used and this time it worked fine. Every other pose I tried also worked fine. I'm going to attempt this tonight to G2F and take better notes about which poses I use and confirm that things still work. I'll also try some hand-only poses and see what happens.

In the meantime, here's the image I created last night for this experiment.

Anybody know how to shrink an image? That thing is huge!

So, last night was a bit odd in terms of testing.

ONE: I confirmed that it is easy to "fix" the problem with applying poses to the Genesis 2 figures (Male & Female). (The problem is that when you apply poses to the figure, the pose only applies to the clothing and not the figure: in other words, the figure stays in the default position and the clothing "flies around" the figure.)

Create and clothe your figure as normal. Do NOT apply any poses.
Once everything is looking good, save the file and close it.
Open the file and then you can apply poses to the figure and it will work correctly.

TWO: I am unable to toggle the visibility of different body parts. I wanted to hide the pelvis to eliminate "poke thru" and it didn't work. I can only affect the entire body, but not the individual pieces.

Weird.
