I tried figure export form Poser 9 to Vue 8 Complete.  The model imported as a static poser figure; from what I understand only Poser Pro 2012 now has complete Collada export.  The model imported okay, no bones and rigging were saved and none were there.  The figure Transparency maps and bump maps did not export.  I was unable to tweak the texture to compensate, any thoughts or suggestions?  I might just have to reinstall Poser 8 for Vue exports.  I am getting Pro 2012 soon though and maybe that will do better. 

Any help you could give me in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
