I am newly into this stuff - well been around a while but not enough free time - anyway I want to export from Daz to Vue creator
it seems every time i have tried to export i get eh objects fine but not the materials - i am left with a plain image mostly or sometimes washed out looking colours
I have messed around with object settings but cant get it to work is ther someone could walk me through what needs ticked and where?
thanks

I believe Collada (.dae) is also an option, though I don't know if it does a better job on the materials. In general you are likely to need to rework the maetrials in any destination application anyway, unless you have a pairing designed to work together.
VUE, unfortunately, does not have any material conversion. As Richard said, you will have to rebuild your materials after geometry import. Fortunately, VUE's material editor pretty straightforward (though somewhat limited) so it doesn't take very long. I've done it many times but now only do it when I need a scene with exterior atmospherics - nothing matches VUE for that - and am willing to live with the CPU-based render times. GPU support isn't really there yet in VUE.
