Importing obj. from Daz|Studio to Poser

[Hellboy]

Another question of the stupid kind!:5paperbag:

Someone knows how to export an obj from Daz Studio to Poser so it’s imported at the same size and position? :scratch:

Daz Studio displays many 3d programs presets when exporting, including Poser of course. But somehow, it stills end in a different size and slightly to the side. Could I be missing something important? (brains may-b? lol)

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

:salut:

Any object I'm going to be exporting I save as a separate .obj file rather than trying to use export-import bridge programs. It's a little more work doing it that way but I don't have the worry of a potential program crash in the middle of my work. Doing it that way gets me the exact positioning of an object when I re-open it, although I do often have to re-size it.

But I think Daz can't save as obj, right? Only export I think.
The weird thing is that the size changes depending of the object. For example, V4 loads just a little smaller in Poser, but a speedo loads gigantic!!! They are both imported with the same settings.

It’s really weird!!!!!

I think you're both talking about the same thing; export of OBJ. I don't think there is a direct D|S bridge to Poser in the way there is for D|S to Bryce or Poser to Vue.

The weird thing is that the size changes depending of the object. For example, V4 loads just a little smaller in Poser, but a speedo loads gigantic!!! They are both imported with the same settings.
I haven't used Poser for years, but isn't there a checkbox when you import an OBJ saying something like "Scale to percentage of figure size"? If that's checked then it will scale your OBJ to be as tall as some "average" figure height, so V4 will only shrink slightly but smaller objects will be scaled up until they're as tall as the average figure.

Rotie!!! Yer a genius!!!! :eek: *smooches Rot’s feet*
I unchecked that option and now Poser imports from Daz Studio in the same position and size!!!! YAY!!!!!
This solved all my problems EVAH!!

Yeah, Poser have that option, I always leave it at 100% cause I thought it meaned that at 100% the size wouldn’t be changed.:5paperbag:

For the record, its done like this:

1-Select the figure/prop at Daz Studio

2-import obj. With Poser Preset

3-Import obj in Poser with all checkboxes unchecked (I have “make polygon normals consistent”, but not sure what it does lol)

Done!!

Thanks again ya both for the help!!!!! :grin:
