Quote - Blender has no such issues, because you can do absolutely everything inside Blender, no need to import or export, it does everything from the first poly to the finished video (even the editing of the video in postwork).  That's basically where I'm coming from here.  You can design, build, sculpt, texture, paint, rig, animate, render, postwork - anything.

See and that's the whole problem of Blender :) The question was for something that can be used wiht Poser, no one expressed interested in creating figures, rigging, designing and so on. You're on a completely different level then the restof us, you talking about Blender with things in mind that the OP didn't express an interest in at all.

The question is for something woth a good workflow that can work with Poser, but has a better render engine and what he's particulary interested in is if Vue would fit the bill. In light of his question, yes Vue is excellent and Blender is not.

I'm not talking about if Blender is good or bad at all and everything I've posted is with the idea that the applications suggested should have a good workflow with Poser.

I understand where you're coming from, but in your eager to convert all of us to Blender users :) you've simply overlooked what the thread is about. Blender does not have the same connection with Poser as Vue has. You will always need to export your figures and then a lot of information is lost. Vue simply imports the whole pz3 file, with or without shaders, with or without animation data and so on. You can repose right in Vue if you want to, although I just do that in Poser itself. Once I change anything in Poser, Vue will ask me automatically if I want to import this changed pz3 or not. It works really easy, no hassle, excellent workflow.

If we're discussing something, we need to be on the same page and keep the original question in mind, now we're just talking about 2 different things :)
