"Vue got their breakthrough in the professional market when they implemented the whole Vue (=everything) as a plug-in to 3ds max, Maya and C4D. That's what Poser aught to do."
Yes but that is only because vue was purpose built to do something that all of the big apps inexplicably did very poorly or not easily (at one time)...Nice atmospheric is skies & vast landscapes.
Well even that thats no longer the case
with the physical Sky & instancing options In renderers like MODO
and Vray,...Vue has become Moot in pro pipelines
(Example see this Modo short)>>> LINK
Now as far as Plugins to send poser/ DAZ assets to C4D,Maya & other pro apps,
Well that has always been done by either curious labs etc with the propack or independent third party poser enthusiasts.
However you will never see poser/DAZ figures used as a final on screen character asset in a major Hollywood studio film the way vue was used as final shots in POTC by ILM.
The reason is because the technology
for CG humanoid &animal/creature character rigs
in the pro apps ,has been and always will be, far superior to what poser/DAZ figures could provide.
