Using DAZ Studio Files In Carrara

I've been away for some time, but I'm very interested in getting some pretty cool stuff for some upcoming scenes exploding in my head. Sorry in advance if this is a redundant question, but since many of the scenes from Stonemason say they require DS, will I be wasting my money? I do not have DS and have no intention to install it. Is there a way to open a landscape scene in C8.5 Pro without DS? Again, it's been several years since I've been around in the forum so I'm pretty clueless.

    most will load but will need work

    in the vertex room under UV tab most need U unticked on the models

    also Stonemason is fond of using layered iray and 3Delight shaders with masks so you probably need to reset up most of those using Carrara shader operators

    also his later sets use D|S instancing

    i don't render much in DS these days, but the DS utilities help bring stuff into carrara.

    i don't have ds on my dayjob compy, but i can still use .duf content.  need to link an external 'content' folder.

    Would need a newer version of Carrara. not sure which one started supporting DSON.
