i'm bring V4/M4, V3, David3 into Daz Studio 4.9
got lots poser hand and face poses.
any utilities out there to import a folder/subfolder of pose face poses fc2, and hand poses?
that's 1 think i'd love to see in DS5 and CA9, easy save hand poses. Head poses.

IIRC, Draagonstorm's Gen 4 batch convertor should work for most V4/M4/K4 poses, though there were some exceptions. https://www.daz3d.com/batch-convert-gen4-poses-to-duf-format
For V3/M3, etc... there used to be an older product by Cridget called Posemaster that was originally sold here and then moved to Renderosity that sort-of did it, but I just checked and it looks like it's gone from there.
Really, there needs to be a basic batch convertor to .duf function for DS, not just from poser formats but also for all the old .daz files, but I've never found one.
Actually, Posemaster and Posemaster People Pack are still over there. If you searched for Cridget, you might miss the mark; it's spelled Cridgit.

does the pose converter in the DAZ freebies group do this (https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/109961/pose-and-animation-conversion-for-multiple-generations-of-daz-figures)? Comments indicate that it is a quite useful and capable package. Not sure about direct Fc2 imports.
Could the GenX2 tool be used to generate a morph series from your hand-pose set - e.g. apply the Fc2/Pz2 set(s) to the orig char (v4?) and convert from there?)?
hope this helps,

GenX & GenX2 are morph based convertors while the V3 and V4 generation hand poses and, IIRC, the V3 face poses are primarily skeleton based,
hands would certainly be bone-based. true. so a pose converter like cridgit's or the one I mention above may actually serve the need, but there may be a V4-to-Genesis step that precedes that step?
something that might be relevant, is Zev0 or Draagonstorm (or both) had a "Pz2 to duf converter" that could do batch conversions of poses from the one format to the other (on the same character), then those dufs could be used by other conversion tools that require dufs (vs Pz2 files). The same vendor's V4 pose converter may have that same function as a side-effect. Try looking at the older zev0 V4/Genesis1 era products - maybe you can get something into your current world via a multi-step batch conversion workflow.
If you can't find the mentioned products, let me know, and I can try and find them.
