I have recently purchased Victoria 3 and I'm trying to render her in Vue 4.11. I'm using Poser Pro Pak - not version 5.
Every time I try to render, Vue just hangs. I'm running Win XP Pro on a P4 2.8 with 1 gig Ram. Any ideas?

Define hangs? Are you sure? It DIED? Cause sometimes it just looks that way when it has not. See if you can render it in preview mode first.

I've made sure that the render is in preview mode. When I click to render, I get an hour glass and no render. Nothing happens. Then I get a (Not Responding)at the top of the window and I have to force Vue to shut down through the task manager. Todd

Just cause windows reports that Vue is not responding means nothing BTW don't go by that. Your poser is not running right? You got to turn it off. Try sketch mode and try select render area and draw a little box on the scene somewhere and see if it renders it. Like avoid victoria. If that don't work well ya got me try render only selected objects and select everything but Victoria. Then pick her apart one piece at a time till you find what part is causing you the trouble. Maybe somebody else here has that mesh and can suggest things also for you to try.

I have rendered Vicky 3 in Vue 4.1 (haven't upgraded to 4.11 yet), but I had no problems at all. My poser is version 4, no pro pack. I import her as PZ3. I'm on win 2000, and using a much slower comp then you: P3 450 mhz, 127 mb RAM. Rynn.

Have you tried(from within Vue) saving V3 as a .vob first, delete the pz3 and then loading up the .vob version instead? V3 is a huge model, and going from pz3 to vob is going from 100+ megs to around 13. Might help. :)

Thanks for your suggestions. It seems my Open GL settings were causing problems. I have a Radeon 9700 in my new PC. I turned off the hardware settings, and things seem to be rendering OK. I was looking forward to using the Open GL settings. On my previous PC I had similar problems with nVidia drivers. Has anyone else had trouble with ATI drivers? Todd

I had a Radeon All In Wonder (first generation) that just wasn't fast enough for vue to utilize (so the acceleration was left off). The machine I was using at the time was ~750 and the OS was win2k. You might check ATI for new drivers. I know that many problems I had with my old ATI card (now am using nVidia) were due to the use of generic reference drivers rather than specific video card drivers. eric
