Good Post/Reply RP...:)

I thought I would create a new thread that is pretty much on the same subject, except with Vue 8.5i..but I might as well ask it here, maybe I can get my issue resolved as well..?

I have used the above settings with moderate success, in that I was able to create an image using Aiko once, But I met somewhat of a disapointment with that image, you can look at it and see the textures are hosed in it here is a link to the image, but recently I have been working on an image in Vue that I wanted to use V4 with and I ran into something strange...again...

This issue is with scale it seems... Vue 8.5i is 1 Vue unit = 1m...  I have asked about this before and I thought I would just mention in here to keep it in the back of the conversation...

When I import a V4 or Freak or M4 into vue with the above settings, I get a figure that seems to be about 15 to 20 feet tall if the above scale is true...so I shrink them down to work with them, but the problem is, when I do that, the textures get all bunched up as if they are not scaling correctly with the change of size and when rendered they are unacceptable/unuseable. Sure I can attempt to adjust the scale of the texture itself, but that ends up being a lot like a one legged ass-kicking contest in the mud...so....lol...

So I tried exporting the figures from DAZ3 at a smaller scale! and ya know what! no dice, the textures are hosed. If I export them from daz at 100% and import them into vue and do not resize them, then they look fine, but then I have to make terrains and other objects gigantic, which just doesn't work with ecosystems, etc etc... yea I can adjust the size of ecosystem plants and other objects, but it ends up being a real pain... I thought I read somewhere that e-on knows about this or DAZ does or... ? 

Should I just change my scaling in Vue to 1 vue unit = .1 meter? like it has been in the previous versions? Would that help or hose everything else? I would really like to use more characters in my work, but DAZ is turning out to be a real PITA....sorry for the long post, I am probably rambling. :) But if anyone has recomendations for this, I'd appreciate it greatly! :)
