I have Poser 5. I want to do animations. So I need to get Mover 4 and Vue Pro, but to import my Poser 5 scenes into Vue I need to have Poser 4 installed on my machine as well. I don't have Poser 4, so what do I do now? Is there an update coming that will allow me to import the scenes or do I just not bother buying Vue. I read something about a beta of a plug-in, but it seemed that was only for Vue 4 and not for Vue Pro.

You don't need to have Poser 4 installed on your computer, why do you think so?

I dont know about mover but I have poser4&5 and vue 4.0 and each time I try to move somyhing from eather it keeps saying my codes for both posers are invalladed and I know they are not sence they came with poser.I think I need to get mover too

There is a patch version 4.2 coming for Vue d'Esprit 4 that will allow it to import models and animations from Poser 5. The method they used to check whether you have a valid copy of Poser 4 was broken by the different security scheme on Poser 5. The patch to allow Vue to detect a valid Poser 5 license is in public beta release. Personally I'm going to wait for the official release. The initial release of Vue Pro apparently doesn't have this problem and is capable of importing from Poser 5. Treeabear, when Vue asked you to find the Poser.exe file, did you direct it to the Poser 5 version? If so, try renaming the folder in which Poser 5 is located. Start Vue and try to import a Poser model. It will ask you to locate Poser.exe again. This time, be sure to point it to the Poser 4 exe. It will check your license and you should be able to import static Poser models. Don't forget to rename the Poser 5 folder back to the original. Mover is used to import animations and is not required to import static models.

Gebe, the following is taken from e-on softwares site under the details for Mover 4. **Requires Poser 4. Poser 5 scenes can be imported (new Poser 5 effects, e.g. hair, clothes, procedural materials... are not supported) provided Poser 4 is installed on the same computer. This means that you will not be able to import anything through mover without Poser 4 on your computer. I started with Poser 5 and don't have Poser 4.

Here's the link to the Vue 4.2 beta patch (PC version). It will let you import into Vue even if only Poser 5 is installed on your machine. I tried it and it works great. http://www.e-onsoftware.com/Temp/Vue4.2Beta4FullUpdate.exe
