Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Oct 26 8:50 am)
Hi LMcLean Some quick checks:- - Poser6 SR-2 ? - Vue5I 5.09 ? - 'Use External Binary Morph Files' disabled in Poser? - Tried Disabling 'Group Files As Single Mesh' during V5I Import? - Tried Disabling 'Use Quaternion Interpolation' during V5I Import? - Did you select to import entire Poser animation? If so, it should import 30 frames as 0-29 Hope some of the above gives you things to try. Kind regards
Hmm that's a tough one - usually one of those resolves most Poser related import issues (apart from adjusting Materials).
Which animated Helicopter model are you having trouble with?
Another thing some people do for prop based animations is to substitute a fixed blurred (non animated) blade - but it looks like various other components aren't importing too e.g. doors etc.
Unless anyone else has an idea, I strongly recommend opening a Technical Support thread stating the above things that you have tried already.
Good luck! P.S. My Poser 6 is SR-2 (6.0.2.118) which is the only other thing I can think of.

I've just checked my libraries - I have this BlackHawk from Daz3D and it animated ok - so it may be something about the model, or (quite possibly) that you need to updated to P6 SR-2 (a lot of Vue integration fixes are based upon this and an updated SDK too). If interested, I notice that this BlackHawk is down from $25 -> $10 if you were looking for an alternative.. http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=2711 All the best
(Should have removed certain non SeaHawk props but they are in green - oops more haste etc...)
Hope this helps - even if not the identical UH-60 model
Trelawney, I just loaded the Poser SR2 so I am totally up to date. The model still won't import correctly. So I have sent an email to Vanishing Point. Yes I considered buying the Daz Balckhawk, but I didn't because the front window is not correct. The Blackhawk helicopter has 3 windows in the front and this model has only 2 so I didn't like it. I'm sort of picky that way. I like my models to be modeled accurately. Thanks for your help. I will keep you posted.
Well here is the response I received from Vanishing Point. I am disapointed there was nothing on the Blackhawk model page that informed me that the models weren't made for use in Vue. This "geometry switching" sounds like the reason the propellers and windows won't import. If anyone has a workaround for this I would appreciate it.
In the meantime I wouldn't recommend the Vanishing Point Blackhawk helicopter from Vanishing Point if you are wanting to use it in Vue.
I don't want to sound mean, but none of our models are
meant for use in Vue except for the "Executive
Helicopter (for Vue)". I can try to help you out, but
I don't even own Vue Infinite.
The Blackhawk uses "geometry switching" to hide and
show the blades, but Blue Thunder does not. This could
be what's causing the issue in Vue.
Try unzipping all of the Blackhawk files (obj files,
textures, etc) into one folder and then try importing
the model from there. When Vue imports the Poser file,
try pointing it at the folder with the obj and texture
files. Hopefully this will do the trick.

A shot in the dark this, but what it might be is the figure is made up from numerous obj files, one for the body, one's for the doors, one for each propeller etc. and the export/import doesn't see this. Have you checked the geometries folder to see what obj files are in the folder for this figure? Try importing the obj file for the helicopter into Poser see how it looks, instead of loading it as a figure and see if it's complete there, then do the same in Vue. I'm only thinking this because John said in his reply to extract the 'Obj files', and I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. Cheers Billy
