Granted, it took some work-arounds due to bugs, but the link below shows a file that contains 17 Daz mil3 (okay, 1 is mil4) figures.

Obviously, I'm running Vue under WinXP64. And, I know there's a few folks here that love stats, so here they are:

Dual core Opteron 275 running WinXP64 with 10 GB ram
Vue6I build 289182
File size of 1.211 GB (I'm working on another that's close to 1.5 GB)
16 mil3 figures consisting of V3, S3, D3, M3
1 mil4 figure... Vicki 4, of course
Mostly Xfrog plants imported as 3ds files, along with some obvious SolidGrowth stuff.
Instancing is limited to the small, dense foliage... all else are imports or SolidGrowth
This scene is 100% 3d.... even the stuff reflected in windows... no billboards or photoshoping required!!!

Just wanted to show that once V6 is fixed, it CAN handle some heavy stuff. Something we'll all look forward to, I'm sure.
