Attached Link: some say its milieu is reminiscent of 'Lord of the Rings'
Being a newbie I guess I didn't research things enough. I thought Poser and Vue were fully compatible. Then I find out it is Poser 4 that is fully compatible, but not Poser 5. Although you can export and import obj files, that seems clunky compared to what I've heard about Poser 4 compatibility. So I visit CL and e-on websites, looking for solutions, come across comments that Vue can be 'fooled' into importing Poser 5 scenes (without dynamic hair and clothing at least) by pointing it to the Poser 4 executable, but I didn't upgrade from Poser 4, so no luck there. I write to CL asking if there is any way I can get access to the Poser 4 executable. The question is ignored in the reply. I ask again, and the question is again ignored in the reply. I write again, even offering to pay for it but suggesting a discount price might be in order since I have already purchased and am a registered user of Poser 5. Again the question is ignored -- this time by no reply at all. Okay. So that's not going to happen. So does anyone 'in the know' know if there is any real hope that Vue will soon be more, and/or fully, compatible with Poser 5 or vice versa? And/or does anyone have suggestions, or know of any additional work-arounds, or how to legally get hold of the Poser 4 executable relatively cheap, etc., etc. ? Or should I be asking in the Vue forum? Or not even bringing this up at all? By the way, it is not my intention to bash CL in any way. I admit I should've done my research to begin with, and I'm sure they are very busy improving and supporting Poser and such and don't really have a lot of time for petty requests like the one described above, and that's probably as it should be ... but I am, nevertheless, still slightly frustrated. ;*(
