I'm quite glad about the annoucement. I'm a very new Vue user and so far am quite impressed with it. I bought 5 d'esprit. I think the upgrade will be $199. But as someone who does use poser, I can see the huge benefit of being able to tweak the figure and have it update in vue. My only last concern is how the professional editions deal with the textures. I find it very very combersome to deal with the textures from a poser scene. In 3d max you had multi-texture materials. Which meant that one material would hold all the different materials for the figure. Now it's broken up into like 30. Is there an easier way to do this kind of thing in vue? Dragontales
