Q. Is it relatively easy to import models/textures from DAZ into Vue? I have the latest version of Vue (which I subscribe to).

(I remember that, at one time, it was such a chore that I stuck with Poser, which is very easy to import almost anything from.

I have Vue infinite 2016 From DAZSudio , i have imported many times without problem using collada format (.dae) , sometime obj format

After importing, you can save as . vob (save objet option) and use the objets as regular Vue objets. I have realised also that after saving it as vob you can delete the dae objet anf even the textures imported

Thanks for the reply!

I will look into DAZ again. I used to use it a long time ago before Vue came along.

There is a free script set for Daz Studio which works with the $50 Atangeo Balancer as your polygon decimator. This offers a streamlined script-assisted workflow to take a posed and dressed Genesis, poly-reduced, to obj. From there, into Vue and it should be light enough not to bog down the scene (even though it's Genesis). Not for close-ups obviously.

The number of polygons is not an issue in Vue. I have created extremely complex objects in other programs that sometime have tens of millions of polygons.

I've never encountered any problem importing any of them into Vue.

I was thinking of complex big scenes. Three war elephants and an army of Genesis 1s coming out of the mists, and meeting a band of goblins mounted on wolves. In which case I think even the best supercomputer could use some poly reduction on the scene assets. But if it's just "G8 female, standing in a courtyard, with a sword" then you're probably right.

Don't forget that Poser and Vue have always worked well together, the result of decades of partnership. Vue can still easily and perfectly import a Poser 11 scene with posed and dressed figures.
