This isn't the best demonstration, but it will give you a good idea of how easy it is to bring content into Unreal and actually use it in realtime.  You really don't need to worry about that technical stuff at the end, you can get by without all that, that's really only for people who use it for making games or get highly skilled at it.  I've got by dead easy, I've only used the nodes for basic stuff, and even those are dead easy because their documentation and tutorial videos are extremely good.

It's this easy - Click for video

Did you seriously see the same vidoe as I did? Did you see how many nodes this guy connected to get something done? While connecting a few nodes is easy, to get the results he wanted, he had to connect tons of nodes, one big clutter of nodes. Unless you have a second screen as he does, this will get a bit too cluttered :) What fun are the basics anyway if you can do some really cool stuff? But to do the real cool stuff, you have to really dig in. Seriously, with all the nodes and variables and things you need to set up, you lost the time you've gained in real-time rendering already.

This is not faster at all then setting up your scene in Poser and render it. Also when you really want to animation in Unreal, you're way beyond basics already. You need to set up your characters, still animate each movement, tell then how to interact with the enviroment and what you want them to do. In the end that will be time consuming.

You make it sound way too easy, since you've scratched the surface yourself. Even with that, be honest, that took quite some time to get done, it's not a matter of mimutes. Once you start animating and bringing in your animated characters the whole easiness is gone and you're way beyond basics..... that will get very complicated and will get way more complicated then what users here now do with Poser and Vue, even those who animate.

Good luck with it and I hope you do understand what you're getting into, nothing easy about it at all once you advance :)
