Warangel, the problem with copy protected items is really a Vue limitation, unfortunately. Because for the copy protected content to be rendered by Ranchcomputing would mean each and every item from the store is present on the farm's machines. Too many items, too much money for Fred & Julien to spend, as this is just the beginning of this service, same goes for Poser stuff.
It is highly recommended to make a small render of your submitted job before submitting it, to see if there are any problems with textures not being incorporated and see if the effects you have checked in your scene render the way you want it. SSS for example needs a lot of testing before final render.
About Poser animations, it is possible to save it as animated vob inside Vue. Same goes for imported objects, easy to save them as vob before submitting.
It's a shame you had to learn this the hard way, I guess I was lucky to learn this while testing the farm.
This is a great service and most scenes won't require such a big amount of time to render, and thus cost less, and I really hope it will be a success, because Fred & Julien spent a ot of time and money to set up the farm, and they really set it up right.
