Scaled to poser people?

Occasionally I see items at other sites that say "scaled to poser people", are poser people larger or smaller than Daz Genesis figures?

    Same thing. Scaled to Poser People means it will load and be relative in size to G8, V4, or whatever.

    Ok, I thought it was strange as one seller that mentioned it typically makes stuff for Daz and Genesis, so I thought it must be a slightly different scale, as it was listed on one of his older products.

    Just a generic term I guess. DS uses the same scale as Poser because that's what the Daz figures were originally designed for in the pre DS days.

    Not quite, they use the same relative scale. So indeed when using poser items in DS, no problem. When I import objects created in DS into Vue, the scale is correct, when I import poser scenes, I have to adjust the scale slightly. A poser unit has changed; DS uses the scale where 1 poser unit equals 8 feet, in present day poser, one poser unit equals 8.6 feet IIRC.

    If they are OBJ they should be roughly the right size imported with the Poser preset - DS itself uses the centimetre as its native uinit (Poser uses 8', or officially 8.6', per unit to items made for that and imported with the DS preset will be grossly undersized). Poser scale is unusual - most modellers use the cm or the m - hence the need to special models as, until recently, Poser didn't have a useful scale on import function.

    Yeah I expressed myself poorly. Should have said "supports the same scale"

    The item in question happens to be a house, so basically I might just need to scale it up by 7.5% and I should be good then?

    You may not need to scale it up at all - it depends on whether it was scaled to fit the Poser figurs from Daz (modelled to 1 unit = 8', though rather tall even so) or some of the more recent native Poser figures or the built-in Poser measuring tools in recent builds (which will give 1 unit = 8.6 feet).

    Poser scale is significantly smaller than industry standard DazStudio Units,  the multiplier is something like 24,384%   so if you import poser scaled house into DazStudio at a standard 100% scale it would import approx.  the size of a genesis toenail.  If you import to compensiate for the difference in scale,  using the Poser preset  then the importer will do the calculation during importing adjusting the size accordingly.
