Twin, you are a genius! I had been trying to import the model here, there and everywhere, but I hadn't considered trying to convert it first. I brought it to 3DWinOGL and it loaded right up! Then I exported as 3DS and brought that version into Vue, which accepted the model as if it was made for it! :D This particular model is under 20,000 polys, which I hope is somewhat representative of the program. There are separate groups for the trunk and branches, and the leaves are composed of several groups in themselves. Some interestimg material tricks could be worked with that, like red leaves on one side and green on another! Brian, thanks again! I think I'm going to be making some nice, young trees while I wait for Vue 4. :)
