That's what I mean. I can do the same with Carrara without having to worry about all these problems. 8 poser characters (with textures, hair, clothes and props), 8 very detailed buildings and 100's of trees and the sytem will still run smoothly. Add landscapes, volumetric clouds to it, no problem, not even on  a low spec system and still be able to do a large size render of it all. For me, Carrara over Vue any time, any machine, anywhere.

I would say the above is the reverse of truth.
Carrara won't load at all if it has more than three millinium figures... My most recent pic, 'Elf Match' was done in Vue only because it would not load in Carrara after the three women in the center were in place. As soon as either of the last two figures were imported it would crash. I also had to obj export them out of Poser for Carrara because even when the scene was first started and had only one figure importing her straight from Poser would cause her to appear without her props, outfit unconformed, and missing her pose... But claiming conform and pose were there so that I couldn't just re-apply the pose nor unconform and reconform the gear.

I can get over 10 millinium figures in Vue on the same machine. Further they will keep their poses and props.

Vue rarely crashes, Carrara crashes with regularity.

I'm on a 1.8ghz AMD, 2.5gb of Ram, nVidea MMX440, with 90gb of free HD space on the disk with the apps and 20gb's free on the C drive.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
