There are some instances where it could be better. For me, if I could get something close to scenery quality of Vue in Poser, I'd user Poser because: A)Poser is LIGHTYEARS FASTER as far as the interface, even without OpenGL. (Never thought I'd here myself saying that about Poser. Vue is so attrocious when it comes to interface speed, I dare say nothing is slower on the planet.) B) Poser's animation palette is MUCH better than Vue's. i.e., Poser is a lot better for animating. C) It would be great for rough setups if the render quality was not acceptible, as you could set up your scene, animate cameras, and interactively Poser your figures without switching back-n-forth. Yeah, I originally bought Vue so I could do just the opposite. But Vue has proved that it simply can not handle Poser animation imports and still function well. Plus the animation controls drive me crazy. -Tim
