DUF Prop Converter for Poser 12

This is a Python script for Poser 12. Requires Poser 12.0.703 or later.

This tool allows converting DAZ Studio 4 DUF Figures and Props to Poser native PP2 prop format using a simple drag and drop operation. This allows importing things like hair and props from DS4, as well as DUF Material presets, and use then in Poser. Props can be loaded directly into your Poser scene, or saved directly to your Poser library, or both! You have the option to Auto-Parent the prop to the currently selected actor. Then drag & drop existing DUF Material presets to apply them to the imported prop in Poser.

Link your DAZ Studio 4 Runtime folder as an external runtime in Poser, and REUSE all textures without having to move or duplicate them, saving time and disk space.

**Note1: Imported Figures are converted to Props. They do not contain morphs or articulations (static props).
**Note2: You do not need to have DAZ Studio 4 installed in your computer. This script does not rely on DSON in any way.
**Note3: Only DUF props are supported (not DUF scenes or scene sub-sets).
