Converting PZ2 Poses to DUF Format

Someone recently asked if there was a method to convert older PZ2 pose files into modern DUF pose files. Apparently almost every response they received was either no or not possible. Well, we're here to tell you it is possible regardless of how practical it may be. In this video demonstration we successfully loaded a PZ2 pose for the Aiko 3 character and saved it as a DUF pose using Daz Studio 4.12. Not only did it work properly when applied to the original Aiko 3 figure in a default T-pose, surprisingly the new DUF worked on the Genesis 8 Female (G8F) with only some minor adjustments needed.

After we posted the video tutorial on how to convert a PZ2 pose to DUF format pose someone stated, "...the part I don't see is why it'd be necessary, if the .pz2 still works just fine." The answer is simple: Yes the original PZ2 works on Aiko 3, but may not be usable on other figures (even though not intended to) as demonstrated in this WMV format video. When the original Aiko 3 Diving Shot in PZ2 format is applied directly to G8F, the result looks like she is floating in space. When the same Aiko 3 pose saved in DUF format first then applied directly to G8F, the result looks like she is diving backwards and shooting at the same time (with only minor adjustments required). The bottom line is that it all comes down to personal preference and needs. Sometimes newer models just don't have the range of poses desired (yet), or perhaps you have a set of awesomely created poses you want to re-use without purchasing new sets for the same look. For both personal and commercial training.

This video tutorial demonstrates how to convert your existing collection of PZ2 format poses to the latest DUF format for use in Daz Studio. Why? You may be surprised and decide to do some conversions yourself.
