Playing with Vue 5's HDRI feature I rendered a trio of Daz (www.daz3d.com) characters imported via Poser 5.

UD Hatchling dragon is a direct import and came out a little bright and shiney.

Knuckle-cracking Freak was partially re-textured in Vue 5. The model importing process misread some of the figure labelling i.e. 8 or 9 sets of fingernails, most of which were actually head parts. There are also a few seams showing tho' this could be my recolouring as the mislabelled body parts were a tad confusing.

The Robot has been completely retextured using Vue 5 materials with very minor tweaking and, I reckon, came out best. Note the reflection in the visor.

I tweaked Vue's OpenGL settings for speed as things slowed down on my box with all three charaters loaded (AMD 3200 1GB Radeon 9800 Pro). But it worked fine.

Now all I need is $600 for a decent HDRI program. Donations anyone? ;-)))
