We simply can&#8217;t hold back the needed updates any longer. Poser needs to move forward, and we can&#8217;t wait for DAZ to update a 10-year-old plug-in,&#8221; he said. If user want to use Genesis figures in Poser, DAZ Studio has a PZ2 (Poser format) exporter that allows the export of figures that can load from Poser&#8217;s library system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The latter is news to me.  Does he mean the store, rather than .CR2 export from DAZ Studio? They do have a $7 &#8216;Poser Format Exporter (PFE)&#8217; .PZ2 exporter for getting poses and animations and the like to Poser, but I&#8217;ve never heard it could be used for complete clothed pose-able early-Genesis figures. If that was possible I&#8217;m sure I would have heard about it.  Perhaps .CR2 and .PZ2 are being confused here?  You can do .CR2 to get a Genesis 1 or 2 figure, but not G3 or G8.<\/p>\n<p>But if one really <em>must<\/em> have an early Genesis figure one can always i) export as a posed plain old .OBJ (pray the textures load back on); or ii) render the posed figure with similar lighting, save to a masked image format, and use inside the Poser scene as an alpha-masked billboard (only good for background crowds, admittedly); iii) render the figure to a masked PNG and composite into the Poser scene in Photoshop, PhotoLine, Krita etc.  So far as I&#8217;m aware it&#8217;s not possible to export a <strong>posed<\/strong> .FBX from Poser, and that&#8217;s probably also the case for DAZ though I&#8217;m not sure.<\/p>\n<p>As for other scripts and Poser 12, I guess we just have to see what breaks. It happened for Poser 11 and 11.2, and stuff got fixed in due course.  Perhaps Renderosity could dedicate a tiny fraction of the Poser 12 profits to recompensing the script fixers. How about offering small bounties for fixed scripts?  I mean, there&#8217;s only going to be a dozen or so.  $100 per = $1,200.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new article on PoserPython at Renderosity reveals Poser 12 will go to Python 3&#8230; &#8220;When we move to the newer version of Python it will almost certainly break the DSON [early Genesis versions import] plug-in and other scripts.
