I have Poser 5, Vue 4 and Carrera 3, (Yes i have invested heavily), I have been spending quite a lot of time recently learning C3, still a way to go but what a journey! the more i use it the more i discover its possibilities the more i like it, Yes the promised Transporter will make it better for Poser5/C3 users but i am getting some very exciting results now just inporting poser figures and scenes as wavefront objects from Poser, the only slight problem sometimes are texture locations or placing, but these can usually be sorted out easily, I find i use Vue4 mainly for backgroung images only, the import of PZ3 capabilities is useful but i find the renders to be greatly inferior to C3, These of course are my own views but i thought i'd share them with you, here is a link to an image i recently did using a figure posed and exported as a Wavefront object in Poser 5 then imported in C3 and rendered over a Vue4 Background, C3 even rendered the shadow onto the backdrop, hows that for neat? http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=608532&Start=1&Artist=Bigt&ByArtist=Yes Regards, BigT ;0)
