Hello! I'm rather new to DS and picked up the pose converter, but i noticed no instructions are included. I can't find by google any mention of how to use the converter, and i would love to start converting pose sets.
Anyone have any tips on how to convert poses? I have all my poser runtimes set up and can load from poser libraries into my DS stage, and apply V4 poses to genesis, just need to nail down the correct way to convert them.
Thanks!

There are several pose converters in the store. Which one are you using?

using that one. Can't find any text file or instructions
OK. I don't own that product. But I know the guy who built it. I'll track down Zev and get you some answers. Meantime, you might want to go digging around for the readme file. If it's there, it'll be in the readme folder in the content folder. Zev0 and Draagonstorm are pretty good about including PDF instruction readme files on their products.
unfortunately there is no readme folder or file :(
no PDF either. i redownloaded it to make sure
Well, dang. I haven't heard back either. I'll keep looking. I might have to break down and buy it myself. (I've been thinking about it getting it anyway.)
well that's kind of a lot of trouble to go to :( i was thinking surely someone has used it. when i used to submit here i remember readme being required. it would be fine if i could look that up online but can't seem to find any mention of it. and it looks like a great program!
i just need to convert to G2 then i will manually set them up for G3
there is a readme here http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/22536/start
Not sure it will help much though
I have the product, I also don't see the pdf in the read me file. I also have the g2 to g3 converter that does have a pdf, instructions are pretty much trhe same. I've attached that pdf.
I'll keep looking for the V4 converter pdf, it may be that my over filled readme folder has it hidden somewhere.
awesome thanks! now i'm not quite sure where "scripts" is. in Poser that's a pulldown menu like File Edit etc, but i'm not seeing a menu or a tab called Scripts.
EDIT: found it! unfortunately it says i need victoria 4.dsf not sure what i need to do to install that
The script is a folder inside your content folder.
A dsf is the old file extension for DazStudio before we switched to the DUF format. Basically all the old Victoria 4 files will be dsf's. They run in current versions of DS, so no worries about them not working. The script needs the dsf file in order to be converted to the duf format, is all that this means.
I must have my install path wrong then, because it says it can't find it.
OK. Go to whatever program you use to navigate to your folders, outside of DS. Explorer or whatever the Mac equivalent is. Use it to locate where your content folder has been installed. Open it up and look for a folder label "Scripts". If everything is as it should be, it'll be there. If it is there, then you need to have DS map to it's location (via the content management bits), because for whatever reason it's not mapped correctly. If it isn't there, then there's something amiss and you need to uninstall and reinstall DS because there is a script folder that loads with the program. Uninstalling and reinstalling the program via DIM is the easiest and less painful way to do this.
