Funny thing about those placeholders. In Vue 4.5 Pro, I ran into some nasty saving crashes when using 10 or so hires Poser figures. But by replacing them with a couple of simple untextured boxes I could manipulate the scene fast and fine. Just before the render I replaced those boxes with the Poser figs (saved as VOB). Render went fine, saving was impossible. So using placeholders is definitely a good idea. I haven't had to use them in Vue5Inf yet, but I'll keep the trick in the back of my mind.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
