    It's not believed that Sculptris is in development anymore. The creator, Dr. Petters, hasn't posted anything here in 2 years. So Sculptris is WYSWYG. As far as importing from Daz Studio ... Images are images .... If you mean models .... .obj format ... Genesis in low-Subdivision works just fine. I use Sculptris to make morphs for Genensis all the time. The V4, M4 models and earlier versions have problems though ... the Eyes and Nipples have a Pie-cut circle that Sculptris doesnt like. You can fix these for use in Sculptris using Wings3d or Blender, but it's a one-way trip, as you will have to change the vertex order, so it won't be able to be used as a morph for the V4/M4 and earlier versions ....

    I would make something like that in Wings3d .. still the best box-modeling software ... could probably do it in 5-10 minutes ... UV-mapped an everything ..

    You can use any model in .OBJ form in Sculptris, size does not seem to matter.But they must be Quads or Triangles, NO N-Gons. Also no Pie-Cut Circles. For Painting in Sculptris, Models should be UV-Mapped with all polygons having their own map space, No overlaps or copies. For example many car models will re-use the map space for the Wheels and 3 of them would be copies of the first. First, for Sculptris this will not work.

    When you get a little better understanding of how this all works, you may want to move to Blender. Being open-source software, there are many builds of Blender, with different versions and features. One of the Graphicall.org versions has a Dynotopo sculpt, that is very similar to Sculptris. It builds it's own geometry, has pretty good sculpting tools including radial symmetry (like Zbrush) and of course has all the box-modeling tools as well so you can Retopo, UV-Map, Bake your normals, Paint your Textures, Rig and Animate, and then Render using Cycles with HDR backgrounds, all in the same app. It's really cool, but it takes a long time to find and watch all the tutorials, there's a lot to remember..........
