Store Content OBJ for After Effects/Element 3D use

I bought The Rooftop set and I need to take that OBJ file with all maps/textures and import it into After Effects for use in Element 3D. The problem is that I can't seem to find the OBJ file that was installed in any of the subdirectories in my PC. I am new to Daz3D and can use some guidance to find these files... and I am hoping that the maps/textures are named appropriately for easy placement on the model once taken out of Daz?

    Best way is to load the object into DAZ Studio and then export to .obj to get all the maps as "Poser Content" does not come with an .mtl file as materials are specified differently.

    Thanks, I did that and it worked... where do I find the maps though in my subdirectories? After Effects loads the OBJ and looks like it's rigged by section... so if I can just find all the maps, then I should be set, I hope. Just looking for the jpegs.

    *UPDATE* --- I found the directory with materials as PNGs but The Rooftop set I bought isn't there... but the free stuff is... why?

    When you export, tell DAZ Studio to export maps as well. See attached image of my settings exporting to Vue.
