Subject: Poser magnet deformer effects lost when importing to Vue?

Hi... 

I've been considering switching to Vue from Poser 7 Firefly for rendering and installed Vue 6 PLE to test its abilities to import Poser 6 scenes with animation.  No problems importing the PZ3, except the effects of some custom magnets I have to deform body parts and conformed clothing based on movement do not transfer.  Is this a limitation of Vue --i.e., it can't import magnet effects-- or am I missing something?

I could modify my standard figures so the deformations currently handled by magnets would be handled by morph targets instead, but I've got my magnet deformers all nicely managed through custom python scripts and don't really want to go through the huge effort to translate the magnet results to morph targets.

So... does Vue handle magnets, or... do I have to do the magnet to MT migrations to use Vue for rendering? 

Any insights and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Huh.  A little surprised I never got a response. 

Anyway, I went ahead and converted all my Poser custom mag effects to morph targets and bought V6 Infinite.  The MT approach actually works better than the mags, especially when figure twisting or bending moves the mag zones away from where I want the mag effects manifest.  Also, the python scripts for animating the effects run faster than they did with magnets, so it was probably worth doing whether I stayed with P7 or went to V6 for rendering.

But the renders in Vue are spectacular, so I'm glad I moved to Vue.
