The quote at the bottom is from a web page at Poser Software's official site. :mmmh: I'm wondering if you might be able to assist with the following questions, please: 1) Does this mean that Poser 12 cannot use the DSON feature to open Genesis 1 & 2 items? 2.1) They say DAZ Studio has a "PZ2 (Poser format) exporter"... where is this facility (is it built into DAZ Studio or is it an add-on that must be purchased for DAZ Studio)? 2.2.1) Does this facility mean that one can load a Genesis 1 or 2 figure in DAZ Studio, & EXPORT the figure as a Poser-native figure, with all its morphs... so that you never have to use DAZ Studio nor DSON to open a Genesis 1 or 2 figure again? 2.2.2) If the answer to 2.2.1) is "Yes", then, if someone has the Genesis1 figure AND the Genesis1-to-Generation-3 shape packs (that is, Genesis1 to M3, V3, D, SP3 shapes)... can you, in DAZ Studio, load a Genesis 1 figure, then morph it with the Genesis1-to-M3 shape, then auto-fit a Genesis1 clothing item to that reshaped Genesis1 figure... then EXPORT that clothing figure (which you auto-fitted to M3's shape) as a Poser-native clothing item for the M3 figure, where it will fit on M3 in Poser? Thank you very much for your time & consideration :thumb: . > [color=red]from Poser Software[/color] > [color=blue]"Since it was first implemented, Python has gone through different iterations. Currently, Poser supports Python 2.7, but the program's end-of-life date was initially set at 2015 then postponed to 2020 out of concern that a large body of existing code could not easily be forward-ported to Python 3. "When we move to the newer version of Python it will almost certainly break the DSON plug-in and other scripts. We simply can't hold back the needed updates any longer. Poser needs to move forward, and we can't wait for DAZ to update a 10-year-old plug-in," 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's library system. "This does require a bit more prep-work but once the figures are converted to Poser format you don't have to do it again and you don't need a plug-in for it to work," Taylor said."[/color]
