Does Vue 4 Pro support Kaydara Fbx files for importing models? http://www.kaydara.com/products/fbx/fbx_brochure.pdf

Maybe you look into the manual. Interesting concept. Ok, i have seen a lot of these things in the time i am around in the 3D world. All disappeared after a while. Most companies are much too self centered to support really an idea like that. Only their own proprietary format is good enough for their products. If you look on their partners page, http://www.kaydara.com/products/fbx/index.php?filename=partners E-on is not there.

Well, if you do look at their partners, you can see much more professional solutions to animatory output than a nice and easy scene builder bumped up to work with 'Pro' apps and farm output.
..MB hasn't been around long, but it is solidly placed here in the film industry because it not only has what pros need, it works without oversights in coding that hinder some other apps ;)
When even freeware Wings3D offers an fbx export plugin, I can't/won't comment on why e-on fails to do so with an app they insinuate is professional.

One workabout is to covert MB to Poser motionfiles and export from Poseur into Vue - don't have the link to a tute, but it can be found

You're saying export to Poser then from Poser to Vue? Will I retain all materials and maps?
