There is a whole discussion thread that e-on left on their site if you look at the technical posts there. I was assigned a tech, Neil, by e-on nearly a year ago. The reason is I was the first person to EXTENSIVELY report and prove numerous bugs with Poser importing. After sending many source files to them, Neil told me the problems I uncovered went all the way back to Vue 7.5 and there was basically nothing e-on could do about it. Those problems included: Random issues with importing PZ3 files, Poser "Shader Tree" issues, re-size on import scaling problems, random OOM errors and more. At that time, he said it was due to the Smith Micro SDK e-on uses as the code base for integrating with Poser. They had many issues with it and they said it is unknown when or even if Smith Micro will release a new SDK for programmers.

I found the "Poser Shader Tree" had issues they did not know about even though it appeared to work fine. It was a skin texture and node settings that get totally messed up on import into Vue 7.5 - V8.5 that Neil confirmed. You get what appears to be spots or blotches, more noticible on darker skin textures at times. Again, this was nothing Neil said they could fix and said Smith Micro would have to do so.

He reported all bugs I found to Smith Micro so IF they are using a NEW Smith Micro SDK for Vue 9.x then hopefully it will help some and perhaps some of those bugs were fixed. So far I have not gotten any OFFICIAL word from e-on about this but I have contacted them to find out what the SDK is now.

To find more go to the user matainence forum at e-on where my threads are. A few may also be on their technical search too. Good luck, I will report my findings once the FINAL version ships.
