What they said. :P Vue Infinite has Mover 5 integrated, and with the current updates imports both P5 and P6 (there was a change in the way P6 handles .dyn files, hence the mention). And since Mover is integrated, you get the Hypervue network rendering manager and a 5 node licsence as well. The finickyness regarding Poser textures has to do with the fact that Poser has a recursive search function; if it doesn't find the exact file, it looks for the closest thing. This has led to a multi-year pattern of syntax errors in pathnames of content, and apps like Vue depend on -exact- pathnames. A little app called Correct Reference by Hogwarden will comb your Poser runtime, find all the syntax errors and unassociated files, present you with the list, and give you the option of letting it fix things (not recommended), or correcting the problems yourself. There will be some things to unlearn true enough, but you will be getting an application with relatively serious power to play with (if you haven't already, go to the e-on site and download the demo reels for Vue 5 and Infinite. Or hop over to belino.net and get them; this is Phoul's homesite, and he is the creator of the reels. Take a look at some of the other stuff he's doing while you're there....). Overall, I find Vue more to my liking than Bryce. And the way things are looking, there is going to be a DAZ Studio-Bryce/Poser-Vue split in workflows before much longer...
