heyas Bloodsong, I can't speak with authority on the software technicalities, but if Konan has found a way (which I've seen and appears to work) to bring Poser animations into Bryce 4, I feel it could certainly be done in the new Vue 4... Bryce 4 has God-Aweful slow rendering, Bryce 5 beta-testers only report a 10% render speed increase in Bryce 5. This tells me that they have NOT changed their render engine. Poser animations brought into Bryce 5 will still be S L O W to render... Vue 4, by totally "re-writing" their render engine with a 40% speed increase over Vue 3, and directly importing Poser scenes, tells me that Poser Animations within Vue 4 SHOULD be EASIER to accomplish, IF this is tweaked into Vue 4's animation module. And why NOT? If you are totally re-writing your software to work with Poser scenes, I think SOMEONE has to be thinking about the animation "hooks" as well. Why re-write something and totally overlook that?... The way Pro-Pack and Konan's True-Pose software works is really to create an "instance" within the host software. Once inside this "package", animation is possible. Vue 4 would just have to allow its animation hooks to flow with the instance package. Obviously I can't speak for (and don't know)what Vue's software guru's are thinking about this, but they MUST be aware of this, I'm sure... Actually, its maybe more of a "political problem" with Curious Labs than a technical problem. Does allowing Poser animations in Vue 4 damage Pro-Pack's reason for existance? Answer: (I think) NO, Pro-Pack is geared for Lightwave and MAX users who have already (presumably) shelled out big bucks for their high-end apps and are used to buying expensive plug-ins. Pro-Pack does boning, Flash, etc. So- ALLOWING Vue 4 to do animations is NOT a threat to Pro-Pack, and IS a feature that should be allowed in Vue 4, by one means or another...
