Using Poser Content in Daz Studio

Hi, my name is Tracy and I'm very new to the 3D world. I'm also on an extremely tight budget so am relying on trying to find as much freebie content as I can to be able to create 3D scenes and what not. But I'm finding mostly a lot of Poser content. Is there a way to use Poser content in Daz Studio? If so, how? Are there any tutorials here that I'm not finding? Or are the file type just not compatable with Daz Studio?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! I've been finding some really cool looking stuff but since I don't have Poser I can't use any of it.

    Most Poser content is usable in Studio...with a few 'warnings'.

    Most textures/materials will need at least a little tweaking.

    It will not be found in Smart Content, but rather in the Content Library > Poser formats.

    Items made specifically for the most recent versions of Poser are not usable in Studio due to incompatible weight mapping schemes.

    There's a good basic tutorial on tweaking Poser material settings for DS:  http://homepage.eircom.net/~neilvpose/tutorial-1.htm

      When downloading or purchasing products, take the time to check reviews or comments, sometimes you will find others have already indicated that the product does or doesn't work in DAZ Studio, which can assist in the decision of whether or not to download/purchase it.

      I think there is poser dynamic hair that doesn't work in DS, and I've found some poser materials don't work in DS at all (they simply won't load), and I'm hazy on this but I think there might be some poser scripting that doesn't work in DS?  research that one, don't quote me.  However I have lots and lots of (mostly older) poser content that works great.  

      As there are plenty of freebies available, it wouldn't hurt to pick a few at random, install them, and give them a thorough testing to see what works and what fails.  Also be aware that there are a number of freebie products that are simply broken (some are fixable) and just because one product does or doesn't work does not indicate that another one will/won't.  You will need to do a bit of experimenting.
