Quote - 5 poser figures in a scene...fully textured, Hmmm.
Let's do some math.
A 4000x400 texture uses 64 megs of ram (that's a fact), how many different textures are there in your scene, what's their resolution?
Did you import figures as single mesh? Did you check the "collapse identical material" box upon object import?
You have a drop of resources after an object import, does it prevent you from working normally on the scene? Do you get warning messages about low resources? OOMs?

 

Yes! 5 posers in the current scene, and that is not even approaching what I have done previously in Vue5...my gallery here will clearly show that...

Not all texes are 4000x4000(and that's a fact as well)...and even if the one figure I have loaded DID have such large texes, I would expect a bit better response, or AT LEAST the same response I am getting in VUE5I...

No they are not imported as single meshes as they reduces my ability to highlight certain areas of said imports...and I do  collapse materials as a general rule...unless they will need further editing inside VUE...

As I stated above...I believe that not being able to select, never mind move/scale/rotate these imports would not qualify as "working normally"...

And no...I have not stuck around long enough to get OOM's...why should I bother if I can't work with a simple (out of Poser 35Mb) import which inflates to 133Mb in this FINAL FIASCO?? And yes I do realize that the import size is NOT the VUE size, but 3X the size is just a bit too much IMHO...

And please forgive me for the tone of this response, bruno....but I would greatly appreciate if it, if in the future you would not talk down to me in your replies...

I have been with VUE since 4 so I know of what I speak, but I do this for a hobby NOT to get myself worked up like this...
