I have some really nice creature figures from Sanctum Arts for poser that I would love to import into DAZ Studio to use with the Genesis 8 figures. Is this possible?

    you could just try using the figures themselves in DAZ studio

    trying to shape Genesis 8 to them as a morph with all the joint fixes would be an utter nightmare 

    would not say impossible as with Zprojection in Zbrush or that new mesh grabber tool you might be able place both posed and  scaled similar  to sculpt one to match even in DAZ studio but the bone influences on the mesh  even after an adjust rigging to figure space and erc freeze would be all over the place.

    Then you would need to transfer textures over in something like Blender, UUW3D or Blacksmith3D too or again Zprojection.

    I have all of the sanctumart creatures.. They ALL function in Daz studio as they did in poser. You won't be able to transform a Genesis 8 figure into any of the sanctumart creatures.. Get that idea out of your head.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to mislead you all. I didn't mean to try to replicate them with G8. I just wanted to use them WITH the G8 figures without having to go into Poser every time I want to use them .

    ah no worries 

    lots of people want to import their favourite game mesh, MikuMikudance, Sourcefilmaker or other model and make it into a genesis 8, its a very common question so I misunderstood entirely blush

    They are CR2 based legacy poser figures I recently tested them in DS 4.12 with Iray You will have no problems.

    As Wolf358 said CR2 figures are generally okay.

    With somethings not all morphs will work with but there is a method that can be used to transfer morphs for poser across to DS I used it all the time with Dawn from Hivewire. I have even with some weight mapped figures transferred them across to DS and converted them to DS weightmapping. It does require some fiddling around though with weight maps. I managed to get Gnobbit across without too many difficulties.

    I would upload a picture but seems Daz forum only allows for links to an image that is already uploaded. If you want some help with doing it feel free to pm me. It's been a while but I could probably point you in the right direction.

    Just use attach a file, then you can edit back and use the image address you just attached. I agree it's stupid for the forum to don't allow direct image uploadings.
