*"Houdini has collada import capabilities so it shouldn't be a problem."

*If Poser 8 has Collada export then presumably so. I seem to recall reading of various levels of success in Collada exchange between various applications - though I may be thinking of something else. Probably best to try it with the free version first if using Poser content is your main reason for buying Houdini.
