thanks i know how to do that, but thats not using any of the given files i have listed above.
this figure was already rigged in anouther program. problem is it only exports those files i listed above.
the rigging is in them.
is there any way to load one of those files above into studio to use those rigs on the figure rather than start from scratch in studio?

You could try importing the Collada (.dae) file, but I wouldn't hold out much hope. .bvh is used in DS only for animation data, not to apply rigging, I don't know what the otehr two formats are but they don't work in DS.

.mhx is a MakeHuman format, especially developed for Blender. I was successful in a previous version of MakeHuman to import a .dae into a previous version of DS4, but not with the current versions. Don't know whether the .dae was broken by MakeHuman or DS, but I suspect DS, because .dae still works fine with Carrara.

It seems your only option (apart from trying roundabout methods of trying to convert to different versions of .dae and .fbx to see whether anything will work with DS) is to import the .obj and rig it in DS.

Quite frankly, it is not worth the effort - MakeHuman is making good progress but has a long way to go to match the quality of Daz figures.
