I've seen some of the cool funtionality at SIGGRAPH Boston with Vue and Poser tight intergration.

Will Vue render the scene including figures as good as Poser does?

Will Vue intergrate modelled animations from Houdini?
Want to save out a sequence of OBJ files and would like to import then into Vue, right next to my Poser figures.

Thanks (Newbie)

Don't know if there will be a built in way to do this in Vue 6 but I suspect you could put together a python script that would do something like this if you have a version of Vue with poser.  I'd base it on the ImportObject functionality.  Depending on the complextiy of the object file this might really hammer Vue.  If I get time I may give this a try and post back later.

I've just posted a script to my blog that imports a series of 3d object files (named 1.obj, 2.obj, 3.obj etc) into Vue 5 Infinite and makes them into the steps of an animation.  Took a little longer to code than I thought as I hit a few fiddly bits to get the animation to stick together properly.  Hope it will do what you want to do so you can import your Houdini animation.
