pz2 files that set maps/colors from Studio?

Charles West

It worked once to ask so I am trying again... Poser Format Exporter works for pz2 files that set poses and morphs but not maps and color settings. I know older versions would export a material file info because of the ones I created for the Sportspack. Since then having come back to graphic work by the call of the Muse, I am now trying to put together one last pack for emotigirl and emotiguy. The problem is I don't have poser and no way so far to create the pz2 files needed...
Question is there a way to export pz2 files from Studio that contain the map/mat info like the old on did? Script? or a hidden button in Studio 4.9 ?\

Thanks for any assistance.

Are you sure it was PFE you used, as I don't remember PFE doing MAT pz2s, only pose and MOR pose pz2s. We did have a MAT exporter script/plugin but I don't think it got beyond DS2.

This still works in the latest version of DS, even though it says it is only for DS3. It can get you started with DS to Poser Mat conversion. Don't know if it can make pz2, though, so might not work for you.

sportspack is old and it might have been directly from daz or the editor... I am merely trying to do it once more. Checking other places it looks like and editor and make the files manually or find a cohort that has poser who can help me make the poser version. The muse called and I must complete this mission even though the final project will probably be just a package I created.

Thanks for the link. This comes close.... a few quirks .. I loaded the actor and set everything up. It showed 2 of them. The pz2 file saved for version 5 came closest to working.. it saves it as an prop but 1 quick edit fixes that ... I am going to check and see which one comes closest then fix the item, Much closer for me than saving a cr2 for each setup/color etc. I think this is the answer to my question with the least problems. If I create a master file then just substitute a few file names with a quick find/replace this will work for most items. Thanks again for the link.
