Yes, Vue accepts the animation data. You may or may not be able to use quaternion interpolation; but there is a checkmark to ignore this on the import panel. When you import the Poser pz3, you have the option to select a frame for single import, of the entire frame range. If you are planning to animate with Vue as your endstage renderer/environmental generator, you will want to take advantage of some tricks: Use global ambience whenever you can, and bake the illumination into the static parts of your scene, to speed up final renderspeed. Plan from the start to render out as uncompressed frames instead of rendering to codec. You will have far more control over your final video output if you assemble the frames in a video editor (not to mention that with the uncompressed frames, you can do postwork and still have the originals to go back to if you goof. And by using a video editing program to assemble the raw frames, you can experiment with codecs and pixel size and formatting to your heart's content without having to re-render the scene if you don't like it). Look into assembling yourself a small rendergarden. The Hypervue module for Esprit, and Infinite and Xstream, ship with a 5 node liscence; so you can install up to 5 rendercows on remote computers (Vue itself can not render anything when it is acting as the Hypervue controller, so you either install a cow on your main system, or just plan on not adding that load to what the app already will place on your system and use totally remote nodes). With Poser figures, plan on reducing the size of the skin textures by a -lot-. The 4000x4000 jpegs cause memory issues unless you are running the 64 bit version and have lots of RAM. If you plan to get Infinite or Xstream, you should check out SkinVue....which uses Vue shaders to generate skintones for Poser figures. Make sure you have a battery backup on your main system; a good, beefy one. Vue has the capability of resuming a render, or doing the final conversion of an aborted render....but a power induced crash can mess that up.
