I bought Vue last fall and, sadly, have hardly used it because of what I see as serious shortcomings with the interface. :( (I like just about EVERYTHING ELSE about it, I must admit.) Using OpenGL has been a nightmare (as has been well documented by many others), and to put it mildly, I find the interface GLACIALLY SLOW. But, by far, the worst situation is the following ...
I mainly bought it (and Mover) to host Poser animated characters. Unfortunately, after importing a PZ3, the timeline slider becomes virtually UNUSEABLE. Dragging the timeline smoothly is literally impossible, as the lag is several seconds. I have tried turning Open GL ON/OFF, turning background rendering ON/OFF, using only one window view, etc. NOTHING works. No other 3d app I own acts this way ... even the unaccelerated Poser, with a fully loaded scene is MUCH smoother.
How do you fellow animators work in this environment?? Do you not experience this upon import of a Poser scene? It is really disappointing and I'm now considering C4D or some other prog to host Poser scenes.
Any insight or help (I'd love for it just to be a simple setting) would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Tim
