DAZ 3D characters

Does anyone know if I can use DAZ characters in a game? I want to make some characters in DAZ studio. I'm going to use them just as a template to retopo, because they're too high poly anyway.

I too am curious about this.

I was able to get DAZ 3d characters with the skeletons into JPCT with the bones plugin by exporting to collada and then importing into JPCT; however, thats java based and I want to use c++.

It seems like the collada importer on Irrlicht does not support skeletons, so perhaps exporting to wavefront Obj and then convert to Milkshape 3d might work??

Does anyone know a better way?

obj does not store bones, AFAIK.

What formats does it export? Maybe you can export to something that Blender supports, then save as X or B3D in Blender.
