    FBX is not always consistently implemented, so it is impossible to be sure, but Daz Studio's recent builds have been doing a much better job of handling FBX figures from a variety of sources than older versions. If there are freebies from the same source it may be worth trying one of those first to see how well it works.

    In my exp. yes, most of the FBX figures rigged in Blender can be posed well in DS. You need to import them with the latest DS version.

    However, not like Genesis figures, FBX figures don't have any corrective morphs for joint rotations, so if you need them, you have to make them yourself ~~

    Thank you both,I will give it a try and see how it goes. At least now I know it won't be a complete waste of time. Thanks for letting me know, have a great week.

    Please post your results. I don't have the latest version of DS, but in my years of trying NONE of the FBX figures I have tried to import have worked at all. The mesh is usually distorted and broken and there is usually no rigging, so it will be interesting to see if DAZ have finally fixed FBX import. I know in the past carrara did a great job of importing it.

    FBX had some extensive work recently, so previous experience isn't really applicable.
