heyas; despite the fact that metacreations bought bryce, poser, and ray dream, those programs were all created by totally different people and teams. they had NOTHING in common! so, basically, that's why they never really worked together. :) ray dream 5.2 imports poser 3 pz3 files. but not poser 4 pz3 files. :/ ::sigh:: well, i dont use ray dream for rendering or scene building any more, so i guess it doesnt matter. i'm not sure that poser animation 'specs' would match vue specs. its the same problem that bryce had: the bryce guys made their own animation style and codes, then the poser guys made theirs... with nothing in common. so i have my doubts that vue will read poser animations. vue's animations are really pretty simplistic. i mean, there's no ik and all. and i wonder what will happen to the seam-welding of poser figures....?
