I'll take a look at your suggestions above tomorrow as I have to leave in a bit.  My day is coming to an end...  but I will be back!

Question before I leave:

Will the the enhanced VSS effects be seen in Vue when I import a VSS model/character to Vue?

My quess is no because VSS has to do with Poser lighting which is not transferable to Vue or other 3d applications.  Correct?
