thanx ariana, i did try it and it worked, except i felt that the models looked a lot 'flatter' than with a normal import, seems a shame to lose that nice full edge don't you think? did you know that if you export a static figure from poser as a 3ds model it will hold its morphs when imported into vue... so if you don't need it to move...!!! you can still keep the different parts by not welding on import and still change textures and stuff.

btw, chinacat, i run vue5 and poser 6 on a machine with a lot less oomph than you and don't have so many problems, could it be your graphics card? i have one that has 128 mb of memory on it and can create quite large scenes and even run some ecosystems. it does crash occasionally tho' but you takes the good with the bad eh?

take care all

Hey all,

was just gonna post about this self same problem, when i saw this thread... I too am having problems importing poser figures in to vue 5 with the facial expressions intact, and was wondering if someone could please go through the whole procedure for me or direct me to the appropriate tutorial.  Absolutely LOVE Vue 5 by the way... agree about the revelation after using bryce for so long.

thanx in advance
