Quote - Even worse is when you try to import something with huge textures into something else - every time I try to import Poser into Vue, I drop to 20-25% resources on a quad-core w/3GB.  That's with one V4.2 fig.

Maybe character vendors can include a low-rez version of skins for non-close ups too?

Same here, I cannot use poser stuff with vue period. I've basically given up.  I wont buy stuff sometimes from specific vendors because I know I am going to have to open up every stinking file in ps and resize them all, move the originals, etc, etc.  its a pain.  I rarely do portraits, but I guess that seems to be the trend and the big hot item now a days.
