I've only really used Poser PP but have just seen Vue 3 on a magazine cover. Can anyone advise me if this is worth bothering with and can I import Poser scenes/figures into it?

dont know to be honest i picked up vue once it had reached v4, but from what ive understood v4 is alot more stable and feature rich, and since its very affordable why not get it right from the get go ? i could be wrong of course and if so im sure well know in a short while :)

Vue 3 is not capable of direct imports from Poser, you can still export a model from poser (as a .3ds file) and import it into Vue 3 but it won't retain textures that way. It's up to you, I started out using Vue 3 but had no interest in Poser at that time. When I upgraded to Vue 4 (the current version) I started using it's poser import capabilities more. If nothing else you can make Vue scenes and use them as backgrounds for your Poser characters (as I've seen others do here).

If it is on a magazine CD then why don't you simply try it out? And find out wether it does what you want to? I don't think it will import Poser 4 files - too old i guess. But because i came "on board" only with Vue 4 i am not 100% sure about it. What you can do as well is to download a Vue 4 demo from e-on. Even a Vue Pro one. Then you can test things and decide.

Hello well i used vue3 and i was hooked a long time ago,and yes if you save the modles as an obj then yes with a little tweaking in vue3 you can get the textures to work quite well. I think you should go try it and then im sure you will decide that from vue 3 you can and maybe will go for the pro version regards essexboy
