    Just apply the DS optimized material presets in the Poser formats library. Pose>ShadesOFAtlantis>Wildenlander V4>Materials

    "O" and as a side note. In Daz Studio, the "Glossiness" slider is in reverse. 100% is No Gloss, and 0% is all gloss. Gets me quite often, even after months of having fun with maps and stuff.

    The other thing I keep forgetting. is setting the strength slider to 100% from the default 0% after putting in a displacement map.

    It's all part of the fun.

    Not exactly true. The glossiness refers to the 'shine' on an object. With 100% glossiness you won't see it since the highlights will be so tiny that they're basically invisible, with lower settings the highlights fill more and more space. At zero percent, it's basically all highlights, which is why it may appear to be 'glossier', but it is in fact closer to a matte finish.

    I tend to find a setting of around 80-90% works well for 'shiny' objects. As an example, here's three spheres. Left has 0% glossy, right has 100% gloss. Middle has 80% gloss.

    No, the glossiness slider controls how smooth the surface is - a smooth, glossy surface has very small specular highlights while a rougher surface will spread the highlights out. Usually, of course, the specular strength also goes down as the glossiness does but some materials (such as latex) may have strong but diffuse highlights requiring a low Glossiness and a higher Specular Strength.
