As I think I've said elsewhere, if the problem is isolated to Macs and DAZ figures, I suspect it has to do with the pathname separator character, which is '/' on PCs and ':' on Macs. Poser is savvy enough to translate these to the local dialect when it's working with a file, but I suspect Vue is not since they just now started making a Mac version. If DAZ standardized on the '/' as a path separator it would stand to reason that Vue might gag on this. Vue is clearly importing part of the material settings, because transmapped hair objects on Millennium figures appear as grey in the modeler, but render as invisible. The above example that worked had another hair object from the same exact author, and you can see that the hair came through with both the image map and transmapping intact. As we know from messing with .CR2 files, highlight, visibility, and other slider settings are just values stored in the .CR2/.PZ3, so the error is isolated to pathnames. If the maps work when they're copied to the top of Textures, it also stands to reason that's because the software's drilling down from that point. I'll check this at home later. So, while I'm making guesses here, I'll put my money on Vue being less graceful about parsing .PZ3s than Poser.
