I am not too worried about textures, because 9 times out of 10 I add the materials in Vue anyway, because some of the Poser prop materials are pretty poor. Most of their wooden furniture looks like bright orange paint. The ones where I use the textures in Poser and Vue are usually things like Lyne's animals or Ironhart's cottages, when you can use the texture maps in Vue anyway.

I am a bit worried that we may no longer be able to import pz3 files into Vue from Poser 5. I rarely render anything in Poser unless I want to use it in PhotoImpact or Paint Shop Pro. I use Poser, in fact, to prepare the objects I want to use in Vue, and being able to import the pz3 files is a great bonus.

If all the changes in Poser 5 mean that is no longer possible, then hopefully we shall be able to run Poser 4 as well, from a different folder. If not, then my Poser 5 will get uninstalled and left on the back burner till Vue catches up with it. I really do not have any use for it as a stand alone program. I have always used it to prepare models for Vue and tubes/stamps for PSP and PI.

But if, as Laurent suggests, you will be able to save in Poser 4 mode, all should be well.
