I don't think it's quite that severe. I just saved a pz2 scene with 2 M5s (subdivided) a back drop and two underwear and that file is 52mb. The render I rendered in Poser with one M5 and bluebird3d's "A bright loft" only took 33. Poser doesn't support DSON natively so it can't save the scene in that format, so you can't drop that in DAZ's lap. ;)
Hmm wonder why the second half of my post didn't make it.
Repost :P
Then there's the problem of content, it's odds on that people are going to start making content in P9/Pro12 for Genesis, and because they can't save in DSON means it wont be compatible with DS4, so our own figure will have content that we can't use on it.
*Bold text in quote* that one I can :P
DS4 still reads Poser format files such as cr2's etc. so content created in Poser for Genesis shouldn't be an issue.
That won't work. Morphs and clothing need to be in the DSON format for Genesis.
But you could make poser dynamics for genesis to wear. Unfortunately they won't work in DS.
What Richard said. Check out the installation guide:
http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dson_importer/poser/userguide/dson_installation_requirements/tutorials/dson_installation/start
In my installation I ended up installing to three different areas:
- Genesis Stater Essentials TRX to a DS Content folder.
- Genesis Starter Essentials Poser to an all-new Runtime folder not located in my regular Poser directory.
- DSON Importer pointed at my main Poser Installation.
And then make sure to point the Poser library at the first two folders, adding them as extra Runtimes. Poser's got to know where to look to find the files.
How can I thank you ! It's like a miracle ! Thank you very much .
Now, can I bother you ? I bought Textures,characters for M5 can I use them ? Do I have to update all my stuff ?
Thanks again .
Did you install the DSON Importer where you have your other python scripts (main program folder usually, I think?)
Thank you, It works !
Do your other Python scripts work, and is the DSON script in the same location?
yes the other scripts work...and the dson is in the same location...
Find PoserPro.exe, from there navigate to Runtime\Python\addons\dson, right click on dzdsonimporter.pyd and choose properties. What is the size?
it says 1,46 MB (1.533.440 bytes)
Hmmm... I need more coffee before trying to help. ;) Still too early in the morning for me. :(
Double post.
I was so looking forward to using DSON for poser and was even about to spend $162 on both V5 & M5 pro mobel suite bundles but it's just not meant to happen. No matter what I do I can't get it to work.
When I try and open the gensis figure here's what I get:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "K:\POSER GENESIS\Runtime\libraries\Character\DAZ People\Genesis.py", line 1, in
import dson.dzdsonimporter
ImportError: No module named dson.dzdsonimporter
I've got Poser pro 2012 64bit SR3, I've installed all correct 3 files that were required including the DSON importer 64 bit version. re-installed my poser to a location outside of program files, installed the genesis starter essentials in its own directory on a seperate drive and in the poser directory itself, Ive tried opening from both places but they just dont work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
So here is my test:
Genesis with a V4 Texture from Sabby; KerkyraHair for V4; Paladin and Paragon for M4
Is there any way to import the morphs (example the hair)?
Edit:
Second test with Kid
Stupid question of the day ...
When I am resetting my products, I am getting three files (most of the time). As I am using DS and Poser, I don't know which files I need to install now and what is what:
13429_GenesisBikini_1.4_trx
13429_GenesisBikiniLegacy_1.4_trx
13429_GenesisBikiniPoserCF_1.4_dpc
What is the Legacy file for? For DS4? For ... I don't know ...
will the 1.4_trx install the same files as before or more?
Puzzled ...
The legacy files are for those running DS4 or earlier. If you are using DS 4.5 and/or Porser then you won't need it.
If I convert a dress I have made for Genesis to the new DUF format and then make the Poser Companion Files. Can I distribute them and what exactly would I have to include in the package to make sure it works in both Poser and DS? Are there any instructions anywhere on how to package these files up so they can be distributed legally?
Ok,
First off, installing the SR3.1 for PP2012 is recommended. You don't need to move Poser anywhere, that stays in Program Files.
Having installed DSON, I double clicked the Computer icon on my desktop, clicked Documents under Libraries and added a new folder in that Documents library called DAZ (the new folder effectively becomes a library) and installed all the Genesis stuff into that new library. (You specify the new library as a custom path when asked where to install the content.) In Poser, I added the new DAZ library to the main one i.e. the one that comes up when Poser launches. Doing this seems to add that new DAZ library to all the libraries and the relevant Genesis stuff can be found in those new DAZ libraries. It all worked like a charm after that.
If everyone else does likewise, then I hope it'll work for you and them too....
Below is a render, just to prove it did work.
CHEERS!
PS (Richard, I hope I got that right!)
Yes, in fact it's the hope that content makers will provide the companion files so that their products are available to those who simply can't run DS at all (or who simply don't want to learn yet another application). You'd need the \Data folder for your dress, the DS users files (\People\Genesis\Clothing\Amethyst's Dress, or whatever), the \Runtime\Textures folders you use and the \Runtime\Libraries\... files with the companion files, including the second copy of the .dufs from the People folder.
There won't be any folders named Genesis - the base figure gets put in the DAZ People folder, alongside the older figures, if present.
Hi.
This picture is proof that Genesis has moved into my Poser 9 with help from Dson. My Genesis-Family only speak German - sorry. ;)
Thank you Daz - I did't have any problems to install the Scripts and the EssentialStarter Content.
Since yesterday I have renewed my PC-Membership because now I can see you have a heart for Poser-Users. too.
I love this possibility and thank you so much!
Some M5 stuff I bought are updated in the store ( Genesis Evolution: Body Morphs, Yolande Hair etc ... ) but not in my downloadable item . Why ? Do I have to buy them one more time ?
Sounds to me like you'll have to reset your downloads by going into your Itemised Order History.
CHEERS!
Yes, I did it but the cf file and dson file are missing ...
Do your other Python scripts work, and is the DSON script in the same location?
OK. I have 64 bit laptop, 64 bit Windows 7, But I used 32 bit SR3.1 for Poser 9. Only because Poser 9 is 32 bits. It works for me. Hope this helps.
Oh, not sure what to suggest now, I'm sure someone else will know.
CHEERS!

Maybe the shop owner :-)
Anyway, thank you for your answer .

I think I know where the confusion is happening.
Poser stays where it is, you do NOT need to move this out of Program Files. I went into Computer and opened up the Documents library. I put a new folder in there called Daz, this in effect is now a library. Install the Genesis content into this library by specifying a custom installation. In Poser you add this new Daz library and all the relevant Genesis content is placed into the relevant libraries.
There does appear to be a lack of clarity in the DSON instructions.
Anyway, this does work, as I said on the previous page to this one.
CHEERS!
OK. I keep hearing everyone talking about going to their Documents folder. What is suppose to be in it? I looked at mine, and I have nothing that pertains to Daz or Poser 9 in it.
Poke-away is rather an old product -when DS4 first came out, as a beta, it wasn't possible to hide body parts and the morphs were an alternative. However, they fixed that quickly (before the official release). Fortunately, since these are just morphs they don't need .duf files and do seem to work in the current version with the importer - they just appear as a group of morphs at the bottom of the list. You can also hid body parts by setting their Subdivision Exclude parameter to 1. In the image I set the collar's SubD exclude to 1 and applied the X-Away Left arm morph, so you can see both working in PP2012.
Ah, thanks for that! Took some digging to find the reply.
I'll give that one a go when I get all the other stuff.
CHEERS!
There doesn't need to be. What the contents of this folder are are writable libraries. All you do is create one and install your Genesis content into it. You then add this new library in Poser (That's the folder icon with the + sign.) and DSON will work.
It did take me a little while to fathom that this was what the DSON instructions wanted me to do, but, it worked. By default Vue stores it's content in the Documents library and it was that which made me realise what I needed to do.
Hope this helps.

I made a Poser 9 Content folder on my external hard drive. That is where I put all content for Poser, even the Genesis stuff. It works for me. And, with more and more stuff I keep putting in Poser, it doesn't bog down my laptop hard drive. The external hard drive is bigger than my laptop hard drive. Thanks for telling me what it is.
Hi. I've managed to get DSON working for me in poser 9 but not fully as I still have the frozen library. I've installed the M5 pro package but I can't seem to locate the M5 gens in poser 9's library. Are the M5 Gens compatible yet?
