I found DSON 1.1.3.49 and installed it cleaning out the old files as kol_2005 explained. I am still getting the error from Willdial's Converter.

Workflow before problem. I downloaded G3F Essential Starter pack (I do not have Daz Studio installed) I unzipped and copied all from content into my Poser Runtime and checked to see that data, people.... etc.. were at the right level. (They are just like lululee's in the video)

Open Poser Pro 2014 (blank Scene) Launch Shaderworks Library Manager 2.6 Press the Button with Poser and select Daz 3D Scroll down to people an elected Genesis 3 Female DSON window pops up, processing progress... completes, G3F loads, ** but she is green From the Library manager, load g3F materials "Jeane all MAT", DSON runs, but she is green Either click on each body area in Materials Room, or save as a test scene, new, and reload recent file.
Now I have G3F in base pose and materials loaded. The only thing I see different are her ears are not as smooth as in lululee's video. Just not as refined. Then I add her to the library under my own folder (My Figures) and she saves. I test this by loading a blank scene and loading her back. Then I open Willdial's converter and point it at the Genesis 3 Female .cr2 in My Figures folders (now titled "G3F Test.cr2: The converter begins running and then throws an error. "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Did I save her to the wrong location? Is there a specific place I have to save her?
Did I point Willdial's Converter to the right .cr2 file? What about the one in the DSON adapted folder?

Any ideas? Thanks Dennis

I repeated the same procedure in Poser 2014 pro and it worked, I did get this error (Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:UsersPublicDocumentsPoser Pro 2014 ContentRuntimelibrariesCharacterDSON Conversionsgf3-testbea-triax.py", line 2, in dson.dzdsonimporter.loadCompanionDSONFile( sys.argv[0] ); UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 28: invalid start byte)

the materials did not show and she was green and when I loaded a texture she stayed green/lilac whatever colour poser previews her with - but switching into Material room and clicking on the figure brought the textures forward - I have found that you can pose GF3 easily but if you swap a pose when she is clothed and with hair they do not follow her so you have to re-conform them I am going to include a few visible tips

using 3Delight textures on hair or clothes disables the transparency and sets it to 1 using IRay does not seem to do this - I hope this can help out any of those who like me had difficulty loading her and this diagram is just a helping guide to fill in some of the gaps left once you have triaxed gf3 in daz and created a cr2 in daz - I do have gf3 starter installed in my poser 11 folder, but poser 2014 pro dev does not
