PP2 Exporter v2.1a for Daz Studio

[Agent0013]

I'll likely grab PP2 Exporter and the Tutorial telling how to use it, and I may grab the code at the bottom of the page, for "Just In Case", though I never learned to write any script code.

Had a bad Thunderstorm pass through Macon just east of us. We got no lightning here, nor the rumbles of it, and just a few sprinkles of the rain. It happened just after 7, and the only thing we got from it was a temporary power outage, and some nice gusty wind that moved the heat of the day out. Power was out for about 20 minutes. It did make me have to reboot my PC. Had just got done prepping for cooking a late supper, and had to wait for the power to come back on to be able to cook it.

Thanks for that info, Petege. It clears up some misgivings I've had.

It is not a plugin for Daz Studio. You need to execute it from your Content Library. To install the script, copy script folder of the zip file into your library. To execute it go to your Content Library in the Script folder.

When you want you can add it to the script menu in Daz Studio. Right click on the Exporter script icon in the Content Library and select Create Costum Action. It is now also in the Script menu of the Daz Studio menubar in Scripts to run it from here.

The original script has no copyright (Public Domain) see header script: "Copyright: NONE  Use for whatever you like."

OK, if I am getting some of what is written right, someone took the free uncopyrighted version of the script, added a couple of things to it, and re-released it as a copyrighted version to sell. Sounds like plagiarism to me. As the original was not copyrighted, they are able to get away with doing that? I would still call that a dishonest act! Stuff like this gets in my craw.
That said, I have the page in my bookmarks. I plan to download this version and the tutorial on how to use it. What I did not see was how to plug it into DAZ Studio. Also I don't know how to contact the people at Winterbrose, to ask questions. Got some exploring at that page to do on that. Perhaps the Readme will have the info I need to do the plugin.

This should help Agent with his project. Good find Aelin.

Topic edited today because it was no longer available on Rendo.

Winterbrose made PP2 Exporter v2.1a for Daz Studio, OBJ Model to Poser Prop
All was explained on the CP page, then on Rendo.

The easiest automated way to convert OBJ format models into PP2 format Poser models using Daz Studio 4.10 or higher.

The original PP2 Exporter (version 1a) was written by JWAS84 and DUKE533 with supplements by Rob Whisenant and Guandalug. It was released without any copyright as Public Domain for the benefit of the Daz studio and 3D communities. We are not exactly sure why an individual would take a product released into the Public Domain as not copyrighted, add a couple of simple mods, and then re-release it as copyrighted material. However, it is in the spirit of the original authors that it has been updated by RoLoW to support Daz Studio v4.10+ and remains copyright free.

The goal for this update to the original uncopyrighted version 2.0d was to keep it copyright free while at the same time ensuring it functions properly under Daz Studio 4.10 or newer. To do this, we started with release 2.0d and added our own methods of correcting known problems within the code when used with Daz Studio 4.5+. This latest version 2.1a remains un-copyrighted and in the public domain.

Happy modeling everyone!

You have even a tuto on the Winterbrose's site.
And for those interested, the code of the script.
