I recently came across a good website that explained how to change DAZ3d Surface tab settings to make Poser specific content render better… but I can’t find it!
Does anyone know of a site that helps explain this?

I’ve noticed the Poser mat translate a little darker and shiner than I like, but I don’t know of a hard/fast rule for conversion.

Without going into it do deeply you can apply a mat that was set up for Daz Studio and make a note of the surface parameters, then when you apply a mat that was intended to Poser you can adjust those surfaces so the numbers are closer to what the Studio mat were set to.

I wrote up a QnD guidebook on what I look at (and why) when it comes to adjusting Poser materials for use in DS.  It may (or may not ^_^ ) be of some help : http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=156773
