There have recently been some great .vob format models posted but I don't have Vue d'Esprit and was curious if there was some way to convert Vue models to a format that can be used in Poser? Surely youse Vue types have found some way to get from there to here?

Nope, sorry. There aren't any convertors for .vob files, and you can't export objects from Vue. It's too bad.

Still the same story for Bryce .OBP (IIRC) meshes? (Just checking on the state of the 3D world)

Yeppers. Believe me, IF and WHEN Bryce comes out with a version that will export obp objects as *.obj, there will be trumpet fanfares, parades, and HUGE headlines everywhere there are Bryce users.

Problem with Bryce is that the objects created with bryceprimitives are not meshes. Bryce using mathematical descriptions of the forms. You would have to convert that into meshes first then export. Is it the same with Vue? I'm not sure what happens with meshes you import into Bryce or vue. Maybe there is a kind of translation into that mathematical description based system then too.

I've exported Bryce objects before, but I believe they were originally OBJ's to begin with (produced by other people). Like, for instance, there was a strip of roadway with the dotted lines down the center that I wanted to use in Vue so I exported from Bryce and imported into Vue and it worked just great. The texture exported as well. But as I said I think it might have been originally produced in a program like Ray Dream or 3D Studio Max. I haven't tried from Vue to Bryce.

That strip of road was a .3ds. I have it around somewhere. You can export terrains, stones and lattices from Bryce, as well as (re-)textured imported meshes. You can't export trees, metaballs (same thing) or Bryce primitives.
