Hi David, Yeah, it is possible. In the Terrain editor, at the bottom right is the button for exporting the terrain. click on that, and you'll see your options. If you export as .3ds, it will import into Poser with the face normals all screwed up, so use .OBJ. The slider shows you how large the file will be in MB's BUT, in Poser, any "clip" you applied will not show up, and it will be very flat. Scaling it up on the Y axis fixes the flatness problem, though. Then you can position your Poser figures on it and save it as a .PZ3 and take it into Vue. There is also an option to export a faked version of the material and bump maps, if you want, but if you're piutting it back into Vue, you'd be better off just using procedural materials. Let me know if you have any problems. It can be tedious at first. Vue will erroneously tell you that you are overwriting when you save the terrain, but that's just a bug, so you can ignore it.
