Poser 8 is a 32-bit application. It will run in a 64-bit OS as legacy content. It will not take advantage of the extra memory that 64-bits makes available. It is, however, able to take advantage of the multiple cores of modern processors.

Poser Pro is a different product, distinct from Poser 8. Poser Pro is a 32-bit application but it is able to run its renderer, Firefly, as a seperate 64-bit process.

The new features offered in Poser 8, will not work in Poser Pro, which is an entirely different application. Poser Pro 2010, the update to Poser Pro will be available in 2010. It will have all (or most) of the new features introduced in Poser 8. It will probably not be a 64-bit application, but will retain its ability to render in a seperate process as a 64-bit program.

For those who own Poser Pro, and who side-grade to Poser 8 using the reduced price, Smith Micro will deduct the cost of Poser 8 from the cost to upgrade to Poser Pro 2010. Smith Micro will also invite these Poser Pro owners to be part of the beta testing team of Poser Pro 2010.

I do not use Vue, and I do not know anything about using Poser content in Vue. Maybe some one else can comment on the issues involved with Vue compatibility.
