I have been using Poser for some time now and last year upgraded to the most recent version of "Poser Pro". Since that time, there has been a service pack released for Poser Pro.

I have read about the issues with Poser Pro and Vue 7 for importing. According to the techs here, they are not sure when or if Vue 7 will properly work with importing Poser Pro content. So, I am needing feedback on what to do for solving this problem. I know some out there use Poser Pro and must have Vue 7 as well. I don't have any older versions and Vue 7 will be the first version I buy as well.

What I am doing is graphic novels and some scenes have fairly detailed renders in Poser. I have read about some hair and clothing issues when importing to Vue 7 and that is not acceptable for my work as everything in Poser must work properly. The other problem is I read the forum on e-on about the "SkinVue 7" having some rather big issues and users are not happy with it saying there are bugs for the skin that make it too red no matter what you try and also the previous version of "SkinVue 6" was better. That rules out making the Poser/Daz figures more realistic in Vue 7 and I will stick with the "Skin Realism for V4" inside Poser for that it would seem.

So, what I was thinking since I want no compromise is to do my figure renders in Poser Pro and set the scene for the characters there as I want them to look with a transparent ".PNG" background. Then, do a separate background render for the interior/exterior backdrop of the story fully inside Vue 7. Finally, merge the two images and do postwork in Photoshop. What do you think of that solution? Does that sound best for the work I am doing?

Thanks for the feedback.
