Last one, DSON goes to POSER the program not to the content. See the DAZ one? Do the same for your Poser 2014 prg.
Yes, you need to set the Poser application folder as the destination for it to work - and you need to set the application name and version in the drop-downs at the top of the add location dialogue, at the moment the "Poser" path is listed as another DAZ Studio path.
thanks for the help guys that got dim running fine and I was able to install update of dson and reinstall all my genesis content to my new 2014 platform BUT!!! when I try to open up a genesis character that I just now imported across to my poser 2014 content library using dson in daz studio it wont open it and gives me this message (please see screenshot below) please someone advise

Did you run all the needed Poser SR updates? I think SR3 was needed at a minimum. That was needed for my P9 to use DSON.
Yes I installed the latest service update for 2014 pro which is sr3.1 I did that at the start before I installed dson 64bit the rest of poser works perfectly I can install and load poser props and content but not anything from genesis or daz studio this is really wrecking my head I upgraded to poser 2014 so I could use hd skin maps for my genesis 2characters but I can't even load them into poser 2014 and seems to be a lot of money down the toilet very frustrated if anyone recoqnises my problem please advise me of any possible solutions thanks
I'm no farther help I'm afraid, I only have Poser9 and can not afford better. Sorry.
Thanks for trying anyway I'm regretting spending the extra money so far :-(
I don't think this is the issue, but make sure you have given Poser the path to the folder that holds \data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 2\Female as well as to the Runtime that holds the Poser Companion files, if they are not in the same place.
not completely sure what you mean Richard im also unsure about my poser dson preferences would you take a look at the cache address and the writeable runtime and see if they look right?
Did you install both the DSON Core and the PoserCF to that location (for example, "Genesis Starter Essentials" and "Genesis Starter Essentials PoserCF")?
If you already have the figures working in DS you could just add your DAZ Studio content directories to Poser - saves duplicating the files.
ok that last advice seems to have worked im now able to load my genesis characters thanks Richard but have new problem now when I try to load v6 sss skin maps onto my genesis 2 character the figure goes invisible except for eyes and teeth any idea why and how I might over come this as after all the hd skin maps was the only reason I upgraded to 64 bit 2014
DAZ Studio Shaders (SSS) are not supported in Poser and Poser shaders are not supported in DAZ Studio. But you should still be able to use the texture files in Poser with some surface editing.
If the materials have a PoserCF they should work in Poser. Which character set is that from?
It's Victoria 6 and Michael 6 hd addon for genesis2 and my character is a cud tim one that I built from the base model
So it's a character created in DAZ Studio, saved as a character preset, and given a Poser Companion File by you? In that case Jaderail is right - you don't have Poser materials for the character, and the materials you are using aren't translating well to Poser. I'm afraid you would need to rebuild the materials, either by loading the raw textures in the Poser Material Room or by applying a base set that is close to what you want and that has already been converted for Poser and then adjusting the results.
