Quote - > Quote - 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.

I think the release of RenderStudio and HDRI lights has definitely made an impact on the popularity of portraits - but the quality of the skins coming out is impressive, it's hard to really "fault" someone for wanting to show them off.

But it's still kind of frustrating to have a Poser import that comes in at about 500k polys chew the crap out of a system that can quite cheerfully render an eco of 5+ billion polys without breaking a sweat (and yes, I know it's the texture size, before someone says the polys are irrelevant in context - it's still frustrating!).

I agree, and its still a pain in the ass to have to redo almost every texture for everything you buy, because SKIN isnt the only thing that is coming in with that texture size, its hair, and clothes!
