Can DAZ models and products be used in packages other than Poser?
Yes. All of our products are distributed using largely universal file formats, and can be used in other software applications that import these file formats either natively or via plugins. File Formats: All articulate models are distributed with at least two files: One is the Poser file (.CR2) and the other is the 3D mesh contained in the more universal Wavefront .OBJ format. Most any 3D package will import .OBJ files (Maya, Lightwave, 3DSMax, etc.). The .OBJ contains all UV coordinate and material information, so this can also be preserved outside of Poser. However, as the accompanying Poser library file (.CR2) contains all the character rigging and setup information, simply importing a figure via an .OBJ importer will result in all character rigging and setup being lost. Additionally, texture jpgs typically do not import with .obj’s into 3DS Max. The texture files may need to be reapplied in 3DS Max. Plugins: Poser Pro Pack will allow LightWave 6 and 3D Studio Max users to open Poser
