I’ve finally managed to get the free Vue 2024. The UK was region-blocked from the downloads, for some reason. But I’ve managed to get it, now that I have a stable fast VPN that doesn’t balk at a 2Gb download.
I can confirm that the Poser .pz3 scene import still works fine. Just tell Vue where the Poser 11 install folder is. It has to be Poser 11, as that’s the last one which had the required SDK. Vue can then import a .pz3 made by any version of Poser.
Real-world terrain-import works too, with world map. Just give Vue access to the Internet. Worth having just for this feature, even if you don’t think you’d use anything else.
