DAZ to Poser - how?

Converting an item from DAZ Studio to Poser is not without effort - indeed, the PAs behind those items are very capable folks, so if they didn't create Poser-compatibility then I'd have to assume that the work involved would not have gathered them sufficient HUNDREDS of extra sales in order to be worth it. There are a LOT of potential issues, some of which can essentially mean stripping back to the base mesh and starting again from scratch (although with the likes of Xena, Sarsa and 3D Universe that seems unlikely). Have you tried asking Xena why there's no Poser support? I'm willing to bet that it's because the amount of work involved would not be worth it in terms of extra sales. Plus, they're for Genesis 2 - just converting them "to work in Poser" wouldn't make them fit and work with the Mil4 figures. Last but not least if I owned the items it would indeed make it ETHICAL for me to be able to produce a fix for you, but it still wouldn't actually be LEGAL. what can I say - the law is an ass :(

So I'm sorry, but I think I'll have to decline your offer I'm afraid. Even if I redid them for Poser from scratch I wouldn't be able to redistribute them, so I'd have put in the work to create (much of) two whole products without having the ability to distribute :(

Cheers,

Cliff
