Vue can import Poser static files without a problem. With older versions of Vue you had to buy an add on plug-in that enabled animations, but the new versions have it included. Vue Infinite, the latest version, will import EVERYTHING in your Poser animation, including dynamic cloth and hair, textures and motions. BUT... It cannot import procedural textures, such as shader nodes, but it has it's own very powerful material room to make your own procedural textures. It does not import the Poser lights either, but it has a magnificent light system that is much easier to use than Posers lights, and has four types of light (spotlight, pointlight, etc), and it has HDRI, Global Illumination and Radiosity. It also does not import the cameras, but the Vue cameras, once again, are easier to set up than the Poser ones. You can animate some things in Vue, like cars, planes, boats, etc, or loop Poser animations, like the walk cycles, but your main animation work, like character movement, will still be done in Poser. Vue renders much much faster than Poser, and supports render farms. I render about 8 seconds of cinema quality footage a day in Vue (about 8 to 20 hours rendering time), Poser takes 8 (yes, eight) days to render the same thing at the same quality. Go to this site, and look at the Vue demo reel, and you will see a few thousand Poser models marching around, and see the Poser eagle flying, etc. Be prepared to be amazed: http://www.e-onsoftware.com/Products/vue5infinite/
