Subject: Importing DAZ Studio Collada file problem

I have tried to export a file as Collada to open in Vue 8.4 Infinite. According to the latest news, it should now work correctly; however, I am having an issue. I have the latest versions of both DAZ Studio, and Vue Infinitie 8.4. When I do the import into Vue, none of the texture maps import. So i end up with a mirror texture.

I do not know whether this is a problem with DS or with Vue.

I have tried to export it as both a DAZ Collada file, and as a generic Collada file with the same result.

OK, this appears to be a problem with Vue, and my setup.  After importing the object, if I go to the summary of materials, all materials are a mirror-like material.  If I click on one of the materials to edit it, the whole object changes to the correct mapped textures; at least in the display.  Once i render, it renders as the mirror-like material. 

So, I am confused.  Any help would be appreciated.

The problem is resolved.  It is a bug with the DS collada export.  All materials were set to 100% reflectivity.
