 * Daz3d Pose Converter (Standalone)
 * Simple script that converts daz3D poses files from a model to another. Supported models are currently G1, G2, G3, G8. For now it comes as a Windows exe, I'll share source python code as soon as I'll have time to clean up the code^^

 * Expression Master & Border Overlay (POSER)
 * https://www.sharecg.com/v/86271/


 * EyeCam 2.11 - update
 * Eyecam was born from the need to find a way to consistantly represent realistic eye movement for eyes pointing to a main render camera in DazSudio.
 * https://www.sharecg.com/v/90896/


 * Freazypose (prototype0.06)
 * A simple script for Poser 9(PP2012) upwards* to add the standard Ajax EasyPose style controls to any figure. (Yes, I've checked with Ajax, the originator of EasyPose and the creator of EasyPose Underground, and he's happy for me to release this as a freebie!)
 * https://www.sharecg.com/v/90739/


 * Freazypose (prototype 0.10)
 * Changes since prototype 0.06. Tidied up a bit, changed my dial names to avoid clashing with existing Easypose, and changed the delta calculations to match the original Ajax EasyPose stuff (although the Spiral and S-Curve still seem slightly different from the original EP Tube)
 * https://www.sharecg.com/v/90793/


 * HighlightFixer for Poser
 * This script walks through the materials present in the scene and checks each PoserSurface node to ensure that the values (not the colors) for Diffuse, Specular, Highlight, Ambient, Reflection and Refraction aren't too high. Some items I've used have their Highlight Size set to 100, where a more reasonable default is 1.0; I've also seen Ambient values set rather high by default. This is apparently an artifact of the OBJ export process; in these sorts of case the rendered image won't look very good. The script just checks values on those channels and, if they're higher than the threshold value (I set the limit at 9) sets them to 1, then prints out a listing of which channels were modified.

 * Mirror Eyes for poser
 * https://www.sharecg.com/v/59642/


 * Mirror My Pose (POSER)
 * A POSER mirror script which works with weightmapped characters and has been tested on various characters, Dawn, Dusk, V4, M4, Roxie, Rex and Star. It has NOT been tested on anything Genesis. There is a minor issue with eyes on the hivewire characters if you use the CTRL morphs to pose them, but it works fine if you set the poses using the actual dials.

 * TDMT Morph Transfer
 * "TDMT is a PoserPython script set which allows transfer of morphs between actors with incompatible geometries."
 * http://www.morphography.uk.vu/~cagepage/TDMT_Match/TDMT.html
 * Tutorials: http://www.morphography.uk.vu/~cagepage/TDMT_Match/old_tutorials/tutorials.html


 * TerrainMaker script
 * This Python script uses the built-in Python Image Library (PIL) and geometry-creation methods in Poser 9 or later (P9, Pro 2012, P10, Pro 2014, P11) to read an image map in PNG or BMP format and, based on the grayscale values of that map, build a polygon mesh with the lighter pixels being raised and the darker ones being lowered from the average. A plain black or white map would of course be flat, but a grayscale image with features painted on will generate a three-dimensional 64x64 mesh within your Poser scene that can be used for a landscape (or saved to the Props library, exported for use in other applications, etc.)

 * Eye & Jaw Morph Fixer for Face Morphs
 * The Eye & Jaw Morph Fixer will correct warped morphs exported from tools such as FaceGen Artist or HeadShop for Daz Studio 4.x. Tools like FaceGen Artist or HeadShop can create realistic face morphs, but they may warp the eyes, jaw, and tongue in the process. This tool will zero out the morph deltas for the eyes, jaw, and tongue, so they are no longer warped. The tool also keeps the original scale and centers of each eye. This tool is free! (Windows 32/64-bit)

 * Geometry Stripper (Windows Application)
 * pulls geometry out of a PP2 file, saves geometry as an OBJ file (or a set of OBJ files), and puts pointers to the OBJs in the PP2s.

 * https://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/?item_id=158 or http://mystic-nights.com/freebies/details.php?image_id=319


 * Objaction Scaler 3c
 * Objaction Scaler is a Windows tool which facilitates the transfer of .obj files between Poser and other 3D packages such as Studio Max and RDS5. Objects within Poser are much smaller than in other 3D packages, by a factor of around a thousand or so. This can lead to problems either with minuscule objects in Max and RDS5, or brobdingnagian objects in Poser. In either case bizarre results can arise when editing or manipulating the objects. The use of Objaction to either reduce or enlarge the object prior to transfer eliminates these problems.
