If you manage to 'fix' it, I'll buy you several beers. I say that in quotes because I realize it's caused by a potentially defective change in studio.

Regardless, I can't stop using VWD because it's just too fun and valuable. To workaround the issue, I've been using an old 4.9 beta install of Daz whenever I need to VWD stuff. Luckily it can open my 4.10 scene files.

Thanks for all your hard work on this! I realize it goes above and beyond the call of duty. I may have to check and see if the VWD script is encrypted or not. I was a software developer for years but got burned out. Playing with this particular script would be worthwhile.

I'd probably go the same path as you, attempt to get rid of the extra export/import, perhaps contacting the VWD creator to see why it crashes thereafter. Failing that...hmm...yeh, tough one.
