Back 2007, IRL kicked the doodoo out of me and I stoped modeling in LW because they broke their OBJ export. At some point after that I withdrew from ALL 3D stuff since DAZ no longer supported Poser, and vice versus.

This month I caved in and set up a Windows 10 system to start learning Unreal. In spite of Unreal being available for Linux,getting assets requires Epic Games store which doesn't work in Linux.

I decided to try rebuilding  my Asset library for Poser/DAZ. I jumped through the hoops to get Pose 11.3 working, and installed DAZ Studio for my extensive DAZ Library.

16 Years is a LOOOOONG time to be away.

What's the best way get all my DAZ assets into Poser,and both Poser and DAZ assets into Blender?

Blender is my new weapon of mass communication.
I used to be a master of yanking OBJ resources out the Poser library,

Now it's all new to me, again.

I tried to put ths post into the DAZ forum, but it looks it's blocked for posting.

HALP!!!!

Going by the assumption that you used the DAZ Installation Manager, which more than likely installed everything to your DAZ Studio Content library.

Older  content such as the millenium 4 figures (V4, M4, kits 4, etc) should work fine in Poser, but materials on those older products may need to be tweaked some. Genesis figures are a different matter, as they do not have Poser-standard extensions or library structure and converting them to Poser formats isn't trivial.

What you SHOULD be able to do, though, is add your DAZ Content Library to Poser as an external library. In that case, anything that IS compatible with Poser should appear in the Runtime folder your Poser library. You don't mention what version of Poser you have, but there should be a section in the manual about how to add external runtimes.

As for the Blender stuff, I can't help much with that part. 8-)

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

M4 and V4 were the new kids when I bowed out, so I never used Genesis .
I'm actually heavily invested in the 3rd gen unimesh. I'm also deep into Peatron's LoRES figures.

I was working on 2700 (Yes hundred) polygon figure that could take M3 and V3 maps.

Also, is there a way to move DAZ's default content to a separate drive?

I think for Blender I have to learn to FBX export.from DAZ and Poser, then import into Blender.

when you say you can't post in the Daz forum. Do you mean here or over at Daz's site?

If you want to pose the figures in Blender, you can use either fbx or Collada. If you are posing them in Poser or Daz, you can use obj.

I meant here. It doesn't show up in the pull down when I'm trying to create a new topic.

I figured. I'm getting my modeling skills back up. I tried exporting a figure but only got his head lamp.

Check your forum settings to see if Daz is marked visible. If it is and you still can't see it, I'll report it to the developers.

To find the forum settings, click on your name in the upper right corner and choose settings.

Then you should see a bar that says My settings (your name) and several options click on the one that says forums and scroll down to Daz. Check the box and hit the save button.

Thanks.

Trying to figure out where that is. I think the last time I bought something was ALSO 2007.LOL!!

Honestly,, I only loaded DAZ Studio to get at my Daz Library. My assets, I never would have bothered.with DAZ Studio. Although old, they are still pretty valuable.

If I didn't need Windows for Unreal engine assets I never would have bothered with DAZ Studio., or getting my Poser 11 working. I run Linux 90% of the time. and until these can at least run under Wine, I need them once... to get my purchases into Blender. LOL!

Good news update. I figured out how to add the DAZ content folder to Poser.

The bad news is the figure I MOST wanted to use, Pedatron's 14 MU, while installed and working in DazS wasn't found when I added the DAZ folder to Poser.

For some reason Rikishi's wardrobe also didn't show up in Poser.

That was through the download link built into poser.

Rikishi himself is there, but non of his clothes?!?!

Still can't find the list of forums I block and joined. I'm assuming I blocked DAZ a some point and that's why I can't respond of post messages there.

Hopefully, this helps. I couldn't put it all into one image so you'll have to scroll to find the second one.

YES!!! Thank you!!! I don't how or why it worked this time, but mission accomplished.

Glad it worked

I think we can mark this one closed now. Thanks to @RedPhantom,
