I had problems with importing Poser scenes containing magnets. In my "Blade" render (see gallery) the breasts were not quite what they were in Poser after importing into Vue. After deleting all magnets in the Poser secene, adjusting breast size with the available morph targets, and re-importing the whole thing, everything was fine. I'm using Vue 4.05 with Win 98. Anybody had the same problem or is it just me? Regards, Christoph

Hi Christoph, I haven't used 'em myself, so this is just what I've heard from other users. You can make the magnet invisible in Poser; don't delete it. When it comes into Vue, the magnet will be visible in the scene but it can be safely deleted then, and the magnet's effects should still be in place. Hope that helps. :)

heyas; i had a magnetized pz3 in vue 4.01? 4.00?? (and win98) the magnet and the spherical zone imported into vue as fully visible objects, but once deleted, their effects on the mesh were preserved. did you see the mag zone spheres when you imported your pz3 into vue?? this might be something that got messed up in one of the patches :/

I had an early problem where vue would not recognize a magnet with a certain poser model. When I changed the magnet to a morph target then it accepted it, otherwise it wouldn't. Was very frustrating but it was only with one particular character. Hasn't happened since. MN

Thanks everybody for your advise. Making the magnets invisible in Poser actually solved the problem. Regards, Christoph
