I did a few renders showing the transition Vicky makes going from Poser to Vue. I hope this can answer a few of the questions that come up here in the Vue forum from time to time. Vicky 2 is wearing the RDNA Beach Baby texture, Neftis hair, and the Essentials bathing suit. I think pose is by Fyrene (?).

#1 - Vicky with a Vue default sky background in Poser. Lights are DAZ Global Lights (I'm not too good with lighting in Poser.)

#2 - Vicky strolls over to Vue with default sunshine atmosphere three. Yikes! Ugly! Got to do a bit of fine tuning.

#3 - In atmosphere editor, turned light towards sunlight and away from ambient light. Also brightened up light a bit, and softened shadows to about 70%. Skin looks a lot better. But what's up with that bathing suit?

#4 - In material summary, clicked on Vicky's head, lips and skin; changed highlight color to white, highlight intensity down; adjusted highlights on hair; loaded glass material for eyeball. Poser material for bathing suit is a strange reflective material; I'm not very good at that, so changed it to plain procedural colors. Looks ok.

After adjusting lighting and materials, Poser figures can look wonderful in Vue. The Vue examples here are only with sunlight; if you work with different lights, like Thomas does, you can achieve even better renders. Further tweaking with the highlights on Vicky's skin will get you closer to the pale tone of her flesh in Poser, as well as changing color of the lighting.

Hope this helps people to see how great Vue does with Poser figures.

Would be nice if you could post this in the thread where it was asked for. It makes it easier to find later. If you like, you also can post just a copy of this one there, please Djeser:-) Guitta

Done, Guitta. 8o)

Great, Djeser! This might answer all those Vue vs. Poser questions. I always fiddle a lot with the textures myself after importing Poser figures into Vue, but it's really worth the time. The millenium dragon looks way better when it's rendered in Vue, so daoes Vickie. ;) Phil

Wow, thanks so much for this! I'm new to vue and I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get rid of that really dark skin look all my poser people seem to have unless in really bright sunlight (which then tends to make them look plastic) This was such a find!

Thanks for the tut D! I always have problems with this. Thanks again. James

Missed this one! Very cool, Christie! Thanks for posting it!
