My hands-on experience: the pure speculation is... pure speculation! Here, import of Poser 5 generated PZ3 files into Vue 4 via direct PZ3 import does NOT work even if Poser 4 is installed on the same machine. I have all the software above installed on my Win2000 Intel computer. Whenever I tried importing a Poser 5 generated PZ3 into Vue 4, I got weird results. Sometimes nothing at all, sometimes -and this is the result of the last test- I get partial import. In the last case, I tried to import a full Judy and only the head (at super magnitude, besides), appeared in Vue. BUT - It is always possible to import Poser 5 characters via the old-fashioned OBJ, like we Vue oldtimers used to do when Vue 4 was not here yet. Lynn, Steve, or whoever of Eon is interested: I am at your FULL disposal for whatever testing you might need to do about integration of Vue 4 (or Vue whatever ;-) ) and Poser 5. Just let me know. Orio
