Both DAZ Studio and Poser have seen a long line of 3D characters created over time. As each generation of character arrived, artists invest in content that might soon be outdated or made incompatible by the time a new figure hits the market. Some backward compatibility exists and there are utilities that help convert clothing content, but sometimes there's confusion and pain when trying to fit cool looking clothing from generation X on a character in generation Y.

In this video workshop, we show the collective experience of artists in the community to share valuable experience on working with different generation characters. The discussion is also a celebration of the evolution, since there are fond memories of using that older content, so artists will be sharing their renders of various legacy figures! In certain circumstances there are some real advantages to using older figures, so we'll be talking about that as well.

As well as looking at compatibility between generations in the respective Poser and DAZ Studio stables, there is of course some limited cross over of content between some of the older base meshes, so we include a bonus tutorial on clothing conversion between Poser and DAZ Studio and vice versa.
