Have you tried looking over the tutorials here in the tutorials section? Because I believe there is some info there regarding this. As for bump maps, you can rename the .bum extension to .bmp, and use them in Vue then. Transparency maps seem to be a different thing in Vue than they are in Poser, and to tell you the truth I'm really not sure, as I don't evr use them, since I take the chicken way out and rely on post work. ;) As for the reflection maps, I have no idea if it's even possible, but if so, probably much different than the way Poser handles them. I'm sorry that I can't be of more help, but I'm really just not familiar with any of these things, since I never use these techniques in either Vue OR Poser. I can't help it-- I LOVE to do post work in Painter, so my work in Poser and Vue is usually very basic. Have no fear though, because Guitta, or Bloodsong, or Bill or Varian or one of our other experts will see this soon and answer, hopefully, far better than I can right now. Vue? Cooperate? No, Vue's not big on cooperation much of the time. sigh. --Mike
