If I import more than 2 characters with dynamic properties (I think it was the hair that did it...?) it'll crash Vue for me.

If I export ANY model from Poser, C4D, Mudbox, and XSI as an OBJ (or 3DS or LWO) than it imports just fine - I can either texture it in Vue, or have the custom texturing from C4D (image maps made in Photoshop or BodyPaint). The poly-count doesn't seem to matter - Vue just takes what I throw at it, smiles and asks for more.

Dynamic contect from Poser...? Have fun with that.

The problem is that it is asking Vue to see and use proprietary code from Poser (or ANY other app - think also of native shaders from C4D or Max, or XSI). I know this is a big selling point in their advertising (which I think is dumb on their part), but it's asking Vue to play nice with Poser when the 2 programming teams have never spoken (think of reverse-engineering - it's spotty at best), so Poser was never MADE to go with anything else other than Poser.

Hope this helps-
