Thanks to you both - definitely an area for exploration.
I did find this on http://www.hdrlabs.com:
"Set up your Vue6 scenes as desired, go to your render settings and turn on the tick box for 360-degree render and the tick box for spherical render (180-degrees vertical). Make sure you “keep camera level” is turned on and after rendering (but before saving) be SURE TO TURN OFF the tick box for “Natural Film Response”. Otherwise, your highlights and shadows (in the extreme darks and light areas) will get clipped when you save. Images are all rendered out at 32-bits… so once you do a render, just do a “Save as…” choose the HDR format instead of JPG or TIFF and that is all you need to do!"
I don't think the hilighted point was made in the tutorial I used so that may be the critical element. Even if this is the key for Vue, I'd seen references to using PhotoShop to simulate multiple exposures. It seems like that might enable you do HDRI with Poser or other apps.
