To answer some questions: Yes, Poser4 figures should work in Poser 5. Maybe not with all the features. In theory, you can use Vicky and Michael in Shockwave 3d, but you don't want to. Just like VET, Shockwave reduces the geometry which doen't look to good on high-poly models. An exported Vicky2 is ~3.5 MB in w3d format and Shockwave 3D doesn't support transparency maps or joint parameters in the way Poser does, so the result is not really satisfying. Since Shockwave3D is a realtime format, the result is also very slow on computers with not so fancy graphics cards. You will be much better off using low-poly figures for w3d and doing the details with textures. If you take a look at the feature list, you will hopefully be able to understand why it takes a while until Poser 5. Be patient, it'll be worth it.
