-------------- WHY BOTHER CONVERTING --------------

Why would you want to convert a perfectly good DAE
model which can be easily imported into Daz Studio
into the proprietary DUF format created by Daz3D?
Understandably the answer will be unique to the
personality of each user, but following are some
basic reasons.  The model will now appear in the
Content Library and can be used as easily as
double-clicking its thumbnail image.  The model can
now be easily distributed to other DS users.  And
lastly, you can design and save pose sets for the
model to use with it or other items in DS.

-------------- SIX STEPS TO SUCCESS ---------------

Our method for converting a Collada DAE format model
into a Daz Studio compatible DUF prop can be done
by almost anyone in very little time. The basic steps
required are outlined below.

     * CREATE 3D MODEL AS DAE IN FAVORITE APP
     * IMPORT AND ADJUST MODEL IN DAZ STUDIO (DS)
     * EXPORT MASTER COPY OF MODEL DESIGN FROM DS
