Blender .obj/.fbx textures into DS?

Hi, I'm converting a bunch of .fbx in Blender into .obj for Daz 4.15 then assigning the textures manually to surfaces in DS.
Which texture formats assign to which surface fields?
dif to base color (diffuse map)
rough to base bump?
nrm to normal map
met to ???
Or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks

Too late to get into detail, but maybe this will help in getting DS read the textures automatically;

Good night
dif = base color
rough = Glossy Roughness
nrm = normal map
met = metallic
If any of the maps are all white or all black then do not use them and simply set the corrisponding slider to 0 for black and 1 for white. If any of the maps are a single shade of grey, and the channel it goes in does not have a color option, simply look at it in a paint program and find its RGB value, such as 128,128,128 and then take that number and divide by 255 which will give you a decimal value. Multiply that by 100 and that will give your the percentage to set the dial to. Not as complicated as it sounds. This way you will not be wasting vram to load maps that dont do anything significant.
