Historically, Meshbox has almost always modeled in MAX and then do our promotional renders in Vue. We parcel out models now depending on the version, so that there are Vue versions of models, and they have some material adaptions for Vue - or even a bundled tree or plant.

Because of our relationship with Mirye, we are using Shade more and more. Vue has some native Shade import capabilities, but they are being updated to support more recent versions of Shade (you can backwards save in Shade, so those should work okay). E Frontier in Japan also sells Vue there. Shade also can import Poser models natively like Vue.

There's a great synergy between the three products: Poser, Vue and Shade. Both Vue and Shade have better renderers than Poser, so I rarely do a render in Poser (that Im happy with).

There is so much more I want in Vue that isn't modeling. Id like e-on to stick to its core competency - I just cant get that anywhere else.
