Cool! I don't think you'll be disappointed, but there is one major thing you ought to know, since you use Poser alot: For alot of people, myself included, the .BUM file format for Poser bump maps won't load into Vue 4. For some people it will, for some it won't, and nobody knows why. Fortunately since the advent of the PPP, Poser no longer needs to make that ridiculous (and enormous!) .BUM format out of image files and the bump channels from a PPP export (Vue 4 will also import compressed PPP *.pzz files) import into Vue 4 just fine. So hopefully soon the .BUM format will become a thing of the past. But that's no good for all those .bum files you have no jpg or bmp equivalents for, though you can change the extension on a .bum to .bmp and open it in, say Windows Paint, to make it a grayscale and then save it as a jpg for Poser. Not as good as the original, but workable... But, aside from that, the Poser import is a VERY cool thing, and the Poser models seem to look alot better when imported as a pz3 or pzz than as a .obj or (shudder!!), .3ds. Textures, transparencies, etc, all import correctly. Another cool thing is, if you have a magnet deformer attached to a Poser figure, the figure will import with the way it looks in Poser, meaning that you don't have to spawn morph targets prior to saving. The magnets themselves actually import into Vue along with the figure, but they can just easily be deleted. When you get your Vue 4, make sure you get the 4.03 patch right away. if you have problems with the patch, it's easily undo-able, but the patch is very stable and good now, after a rocky adolescence....
