On this matter, I'm afraid not. With the kinds of animations I like, I do my figure animating in Poser, then import it into Vue Infinite for rendering (Infinite has a network rendering system built in, and Esprit has the Mover module to give it the same abilities). The shader system that Poser uses doesn't translate over to VI (and this is common; each renderer does things a little differently, and some translations are practically impossible), but David Burdick wrote SkinVue a little while back, which is a Python script that either totally exchanges Vue shaders for Poser skin textures, or enhances that skin texture. If you want to see why I do this, hop over to belino.net, homepage of Phoul, the acknowledged master of Vue movies, and look through the offerings he has up. The teaser for Vue 6I is just that; you can get the showreel for Vue 5 I either at his site, or eon's website. I'd ask someone with lots more experience with the Poser renderer; having multiple reflective surfaces renders all the ideas I would use unworkable.....
