Finally got my Vue 2016 Complete from E-ON and tried to import an airplane model from Poser 11. It looked good in Poser, but in Vue the bump maps look extreme. Finally had to turn off the bumps to get it to look halfway decent. Does anyone have any suggestions for Poser bump map setting in Vue?! Or does it have something to do with the import settings?

What value was assigned to bump in Vue? 1.000? 2.000?

Wow, this is rather high. 1.0000

But it looks good in Poser. Poser Render.png

Make the bump 0.2 or 0.05 in Vue if 1.000 is too much.

I personally always adjust bump maps when importing into Vue. I find most objects should be around 0.01 to 0.001. Also a lot of Poser items don't have bump maps, so I just copy the texture to the bump map and use that. It's far better to have a proper bump value than none at all.
