    It has not been able to find a large user base for years. Program and Plantfactory is now free.

    I still have the Vue 4 install CD media!

    At the time, it was an awesome app that provided way better rendering than Poser ever did, with a ton of outdoor abience that Poser could never do. Honestly, once I was able to competently import Poser figures into it (albeit as static exported .obj files), it opened a whole new world.

    Gonna grab the d/loads...

    PS: You should post this in the Free Resources forum too.

    It does.

    I looked a bit through the docs and sniffed around... I think I'll look for ways to export the scenery into DAZ, since the textures are still the same way they were 15-20 years ago, when you have to laboriously re-make every texture mapping, and it wound up looking like plastic.

    The Poser importer might work, though? Not sure if I want to re-install Poser just to find out.

    "..that provided way better rendering than Poser ever did, with a ton of outdoor ambience.."
    Ditto @Pooper. There was a utility to export Poser people directly into Vue but I can't remember what it was called. Or maybe that was for C4D or 3DS Max... too long ago to remember.
    I do remember it took a lot of work with textures and transmaps. I must have been much more committed in those days because I wouldn't stuff around with that these days.
    Here are 2 examples of Poser to Vue I did from 2009-

    I remember the utility existing; I think it worked only up to Poser 9 or 10? A peek about google says similar.

    You are right, though - there was lots more patience back then to get something put together. Of course, it was the same with hardware, too.

    Thx for the images... now I want to install this thing and find out what I can do with it.

    After looking through my old stuff the plugin I was thinking about was called Poser Fusion that bridged to Max, Maya, C4d, Lightwave and others. No longer available or works after Poser and the other progs were updated.
