Thanks for all of your opinions and suggestions.
Simply when it comes to exporting and importing I prefer to be simple with no plug ins.
Cinema 4D cannot beat Vue in my book because of the aspect of taking Poser files natively without the use of plug ins, as for the better rendering program between Vue and Cinema 4D That I can worry later, plus i tried interposer with 4D and I seem to be getting alot of weird mesh problems.
So 4D is is a no go.
Bryce's Interface kinda irks me a bit so that is a no go as well.
Blender was a bit complicated and I don't think it had everything I needed. But I will still keep this in mind.
Of course I am not asking what High End Program to use as in Lightwave, Maya, 3DS Max or others to use, because I know its purely not simple to set things up. However I am fairly comfterable with the Max environment.
Vue offers a similar environtment to max which I really like, So Vue gets approval from me on that aspect and because it takes in pz3 files with absolutly no plug ins.
Initially I wanted to export everything into max since I am comfterable with the modeling environment in max and maybe if i needed I can just model the extra stuff I need there if I cannot do it in poser, But as luck would have it, its not so simple to do so.
In conclusion for me Vue is the best final render for my situation, or rather i prefer it.
as for modeling someone did mention that no matter what I would still had to do the rigging and posing manually, if that is the case that is fine, All I really need to make right now is weapons, clothing and hair, and possible figures if i got the time for it.
I haven't tried modo yet, but if it is what I think it is, Powerful yet simple to use, then I might go for it.
and if it is Poser friendly, I'm sold.
Thanks again!
