Hi there,
up until now I've been using Poser and the Octane Poser plugin. Is there any way to transfer the materials into the Daz plugin? Right now, they are in .poc and .poe formats.

In Poser, save the material as ORBX ("Export ORBX Material to LocalDb"), then in DAZStudio, click the Import button in the Materials tab and select that ORBX from the LocalDb folder.

Thanks, that worked, however now I have a hard time applying them. I assume the left window (Octane Render materials) it the list of available materials which are then linked ot the right one (Scene Surfaces)? I import one of the materials, and drag them over the material in left window I want to replace - this seems to work and replaces the one (or more if they are linked) material on the figure. However when I do this with 3rd or 4th material, things get screwy and it applies the wrong material. I am using Octane 3 and the appropriate plugin version, am I dealing with a bug or am I just doing it wrong?

If you can provide an exact set of steps which results in this issue, I will investigate.

Ok, I have a fresh G2F char:

now I click Import and select one of the materials I created

I drag the material on top of the appropriate material in the left window, this highlights all materials which are about to be replaced

this works well:

now I import another one and try the same thing:

You can notice the texture is wrong, on the applied material, however if I select the material in left window, it has the correct one:

It looks like the texture of the previous material is applied.
