Ok, before I start, I know this sounds more like a question for Eon support and I'll probably go there eventually but I just thought I'd ask here first....
Has anyone ever tried the option to allow posing in Vue after a Poser import? I'm aware of all the warnings about doubling the memory footprint but has anyone seen it work? I've got Vue 10 Infinite at the current service release (built 10008456) and Poser Pro 2012. I'm using the August 2011 SDK for import which is the latest one. My machine is fairly highly specified (64 bit Vista with 12 Gigabytes of memory and a GTX 295 GForce Graphics Card) and I would have thought it stood a chance of using this functionality but I don't seem to be able to get it to work.
When I switch on any feature requiring Poser Support in Vue as part of an import (posing or rendering using the shader tree), Vue crashes with an error part way through the second stage of the import suggesting that the graphics card isn't able to handle it. In fact it's this error here:-

Seems like I'm stressing the graphics card by asking for Poser support in Vue but I'm not sure why graphics would be particularly affected as opposed to the rest of memory and I'm also not sure if there is anything I can try in my Vue settings that might help.
Looking at the Vue display options I'm using Open GL 2.1 (shader 4) with max available video memory set to 128 MB. There are a lot of options out there but I'm not really sure what's sensible to try as I'm not clear why this Poser link stresses graphics performance in the import. Should I try increasing vide memory usage or changing the quality settings, or other aspects of open GL texturing or are these not relevant?
Just curious if anyone uses it and has ideas as to what might cause the problem...
