Just to be certain When I ...( ahem!! cough!!)..IF I buy Vue 5 Infinate the need for "mover" will be eliminated?? Direct import of my animated poser characters with cloth dynamics for my long delayed animated short film tell me its true :-) and im ready to join the Vue family

Mover is included in Infinite - true. What will happen to your dynamic clothes i don't know, i never tried that. I tried dynamic hair without a problem. But without animation as well.

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.

I use Mover with V5E, and cloth and hair both come in just fine. Static or animated. If you upgrade to Poser 6 when it comes out, you'll have to wait a little while until Vue will be able to import those files. But it won't be too long for E-on to come out with a patch. So animate away and get that short film done! :^)

It's all true Wolf. Mover is built into Vue and Pz3's are treated as just another file imort type. I understand that all Poser 5 features with the exception of procedurals are teated correctly. Do yourself a favour and download the animation with the "Vue 5 Infinite" graphic on it. It has a soldier scene as an ecosystem in it that is right up your alley. It may not be the $100,000 per seat "Massive" program used in LOTR but it's still friggin incredible. Well worth a watch, big time. Plus, there is an included synchronization plug that allows you to synch your scene from Cinema, LW, Maya, or XSI camera, lights, etc. for compositing. E-On is really trying hard with this release, and deserve alot of credit for their effort IMO.

Hello. About *"It has a soldier scene as an ecosystem..."*, let me show you the capture added. Troopers are on to planes (Ouest and Est). So about 120000 soldiers ;-))) GI. Less than 35 hours to render, on a tiny P4, 2.8 GHZ, 1g ram. I needed more time to make the sound :-))) Philippe Bouyer

Awesome work Philippe. The fact that you were able to pull off such an animation with such a system is incredible. Your work is first class, and always is.

Thank you.
And, btw, the "ecosytemation" (new word) was launched on to my PIII 512 ram!!! Because my 2 other engines were rendered other shots.

It was a honor to make the show reel.

I just watched your work Philippe. You are a very creative and talented person. I don't claim that I can ever achieve that level of beauty, but I still can't wait to get my copy of V5I. Darn, I wish they'd ship that!!! I've been waiting since Feb. 4th.

:-) Thank you.

yep well done Phoul, the v5I promo video is the best e.on promo so far :)
