After a number of people have asked if the script can make Genesis 8 poses work with figure X or Y, I've decided to clarify it here for everyone. The question seems fair, so let's clear it out. This is a script for converting file formats from DUF to PZ2, so we can use DAZ Studio 4 poses in Poser.

So first and foremost - that doesn't mean the poses we bring from DS4 would magically work with any figure in Poser. As usual, poses meant for different figures may or may not work well with your figure. For example, Genesis 1 and 2 poses work reasonably well with DawnSE, needing little adjustment. On the other hand, Genesis 3 and 8 poses work poorly with DawnSE, so this is a matter of experimentation to find out what poses work with what figure. 

For those of you who use a TriAx converted Genesis figure (any of them) in Poser, you will be able to use their DUF poses directly in Poser using this script. There are also cases where DawnSE poses were only released for DAZ Studio in DUF format, and you will be able to load them in Poser using this script. Those are some case examples where the poses will work perfectly with your figure because they were created for them. Even without file conversions, I have often used V4 poses with DawnSE, and even though some adjustment is needed, it's still better than starting from scratch. V4 hand poses work very well with DawnSE.

I hope this clears out any doubts about what the script does, and what it doesn't. Please ask me if you have any questions. :)
