If you allready use 3dsmax, lightwave, maya, why do you want to spend time with Vue in the first place? Vue is a cheap amateur software, while the others are pro. If you want to make semi pro tv sized (720x576) animation, I realy think you should drop Vue. When rendering advanced and pro animations, all software are kind of slow, that's the main reason why companies have render farms and rent render farms when needed. The animation parts in the pro apps. are also alot better then the Poser, Vue and Mover4 Bunndle.
