Hi all,
I would like to know if DAZ Studio, Poser and Carrara are the ONLY 3D applications that supports poser morph. Are there any other 3D applications that could import poser figures with dials or parameters for posing, not just static .obj file?
Thanks in advance
:)

I think there are extensions for Lightwave and 3DstudioMax...

Vue.
Now I have never tried morphs in Vue but you can pose. In fact you can even let Vue use the poser shaders.

In Vue (and Lightwave, 3DstudioMax and others) you do not actually import and use Poser files but instead use Poser itself hosted in the other application (posing is done by Poser and the static object is made available to the hosting program).
In all these applications (and many others) you can of course always import the static object.
In Poser, DAZ Studio and Carrara 6 the actual model is imported and can be posed.
Morph files are something different as they are in effect patches applied on a (static) object. Many programs can apply morphs (or patches) and often have some means of indicating a weight for this (be this a dial, slide or numeric value).

Yes Vue uses poser but you are posing the figure in real time with Vue.

Collada file format carries morphs; but you still need D|S to export them.
A collada import isn't hosted. I.e. It has joint manip. and morphing controls, can use native dynamics, etc.
You don't need to use D|S for anything except loading the figure(s) and the export.
