Very interesting comments people, thanks!

It seems that I may go with Vue, as Vue6 would seem to offer me everything that I need, ie good importer of Poser figures, the ability to make great scenery & a good renderer.

I do like the Poser firefly renderer but I really also want to create full scenes, especially landscapes etc. I create quite alot of characters in Poser, now I want to give them life! I do use dynamic clothing & hair, so being able to import these was very important.

dbowers22 - I like the idea of changing the figure in Poser & the ease of use in which it can then be changed in Vue, very helpful.
