Quote - > Quote - No, it's normal that it asks this question. When going back to Poser and resaving the new pose, you also save the Poser materials present in your Poser scene, you can't just save a pose, you save the whole scene, with its poser materials.

It would be terrible if this were the case. If you have changed the materials in Vue, Vue is usually smart enough to know that you want the Vue versions and not the Poser ones (or you would never have changed them). When it does ask, it asks about every darn material and you have to click 20 dialog boxes. If that happened regularly, I would be going crazy!

Suffice it to say that I very seldom see this question, and I am importing Poser figures every day. If you have a different experience, there is something strange happening.

 

Actually, I think Bruno and Phantast are both right.  In Phantast's example, the material list in Vue was collapsed after changing the Skin Torso material and copying it to the hip, abdomen. etc. When reimporting a changed Poser model in this case, there is no prompt to cycle through each of the material zones and ask to keep or discard material changes because the collapsed number of material zones in Vue no longer match the number of  zones from Poser.  Vue has no way of knowing how to match up the original Poser zones in this case with the now modified Vue zones.  The way to workaround this problem is to not make any material changes to your figures in Vue until after you're complete done fine tuning the poses (e..g. you're done cycling back and forth between Poser and Vue to adjust the figure poses)
