Ok I was wondering other than importing poser 7 stuff into Vue are there any alternatives to Firefly.  I was thinking of static images what if any format is best to use for exporting a scene - obj file or should I be using something else and is there anything I should be aware of when exporting, other than selectig the appropriate items in the scene.

 One of my friends uses Maxwell rendering software - is there anyway I could use this - how do I go about keeping textures etc as I don't think you can directly import from poser. Is there a round about route I could use.

 Also is there any free or open source renderers out there with poser export/ python script export.

 Just would really love to experiment a bit more. It would be good if firefly had GI - hopefully in poser 8 if it comes out.

thanks in advance
