With Vue Complete, you can export objects with ecosystem materials & animation rendered texturemaps. Ecosystems themselves cant be exported in 3d, however it can be rendered in 2d on the surface of objects with depth maps applied to achieve similar effect. Example is the heavily ecosystem created environments at 3dskydome.com (webgl 3d) , as they look the same when imported into DAZ. Its all about the lighting in DAZ. Thing that makes Ecossytems in Vue so cool is how they are applied and animate in relation to factors defined by the environment. Since you will end-render in DAZ, you will need to align lighting to the baked UV & textures imported from Vue.Apparently it s possible to export 3d animated "Eco-Plant" systems with E-On's The Plant Factory Studio, however my results are not good due to considerable import and export inadequacies with TPF. It will export animated mesh as FBX, including vines wrapping around a roman collulm with leaves fluttering in loop cycles. *One fair warning **before purchasing the expensive app, *read the restrictive TPF EULA to fully consider if it meets your needs.
