As I have Poser 4, I cannot try with Poser3:-)But maybe I can help you anyway.

When you export your Poser 3 Figure, you must first separate the HAIR from the Rest of the body. I want to say the hair must not have a parent. That's very important.

Then you may try the following: Before you import your Poser figure into Vue, create a folder where you put all the maps of your Poser figure and also your Poser OBJ.

I imagine now you have exported from Poser the casual woman in OBJ format. She has a Poser 3 which you have "configurate Parent=NONE".

Then fire up Vue and import your OBJ from the newly created folder. You will now see a file called "Casual Woman" with a cross in front of it. When you open it in clicking on the cross, you should see at least "Figure" and "Figure Hair". If you have exported from Poser with all the components of the figure named separately, you will see insteed of figure and figure hair a long list of all the components.

1.)If: You only see Figure and Figure hair:
select Figure, then double-click in the material window to open the material editor. Choose MAPPED PICTURE and then click LOAD. Load the file called "casual woman", click OK. The mapping should come out well now. Then click Figure Hair and double-click again in the Material Window, choose Mapped Picture-->Load and load your Hairfile.

Render.

2.) If: You have exported your Poser figure with detailed components, you have to do this for everey component and the hair separate. To make this faster, choose the first element (except the hair), load the material for casual woman. Then copy this material and past it to all the other components. At least map the hair.

This should work. And make sure you have the latest upgraded version of Vue, what's Vue 4.1.

Let us know if it goes as you want:-)
