Actually, importing into Vue or Carrara can bring its own set of problems. Import from Poser 7 to Carrara isn't possible; it has to go via Poser 5/6. And... Carrara won't recognise much that comes out of the Poser Materials Room.
Vue 6 can import Poser 7 material quite accurately, but swallows up immense amounts of memory in the process. I gather that systems with the ability genuinely to exploit 64-bit addressing cope very well. A 64-bit operating system, with 4Gb+ of memory to play with, may handle Poser imports comfortably. A 32-bit OS, with 2Gb of memory, which is what I currently use, definitely does not handle Poser-to-Vue imports very satisfactorily at all. The issue with Poser-to-Vue isn't so much at render-time, but at import-time. I do like the results of the Vue render engine.
