On DAZ forums there is much excitement about the Studio->Lux exporter but the renders I saw aren't better than the ones you could get out of Vue. Needless to remember that all the environmental functionalities of Vue like ecosystems and atmospherics are missing. I think that Lux place is mainly as a super renderer for Blender and similar applications.

A completely different issue would be a Vue->VRay path (VRay has a spectacular instancing engine).

P.S.: DAZ seems to work day and night about finding creative ways to harm its own products. The Studio->Lux exporter makes Carrara nearly useless as a renderer for Studio (Lux engine is light years beyond Carrara capabilities). First they endorse Vue as Poser content renderer, then they sell the Studio->Lux exporter... I am glad that I did not waste my money getting Carrara 8 Pro :sneaky:.
