Vue is a favorite companion program for many Poser users. Lightwave should be able to render Poser figures/animations from within Vue scenes via the promised "Fusion" Plug, and will be 64bit within the next couple of months. I also heard that C4D is or will be 64bit also. For figure creation C4d, Lightwave, Shade, Silo, or any of the free software modelers. (Wings, etc.) Carrara has a "Transporter" plugin for Poser import, but don't know much about it. I hope this helps, but have a feeling it probably doesn't. :( Sorry about that.
