I dont have Poser.. yet, but would like to make use of some of the things that are offered for sale...characters ect.., so my question is, if I go ahead and buy some of these things, can I bring them into Vue and pose them as I need them, or does all of that need to be done in Poser then exported into Vue. Thanks.

No, you need Poser to use and pose them. Then you can export from Poser to other 3D software, including Vue. You cannot use, in no case, Poser figures and items if you don't have Poser.

You can't do any posing in Vue, only positioning. That means you do the posing in Poser and import the results to Vue. What we all do is, do the posing for the individual elements in Poser and put the scene together in Vue. If you have Vue Pro, the imported Poser elements are updated automatically when you have changed the original file in Poser. Very nice. That is not possible in Vue d'Esprit. Hope that answeres your question. If not, feel free...

Thank you for the answers, I rather thought that would be the case, I will keep saving the pennies for Poser.. unless the beta for Daz/Studio comes out first. G

So, If understand correctly you can run poser and vue prof at the same time and work on the same poserfile. When the poses in the poser application are changed they get changed in vue in the same time. Is this correct?

Yes:-) Let's say you have imported a Poser figure into Vue and when you have positioned her, you don't like the pose of an arm, a leg or whatever. Go back to Poser, change the pose, then save it under the same name as before. Go back to Vue Pro. Vue Pro recognices immediately th changes and pops up a message saying that your figure has changed and if you want to apply these changes. If you say YES, the changes will be applied and your Poser figure will stay in the same positionment and wil have the same size as before. Great, isn't it?
