(How to use SBRM in DAZ|Studio)
(Textures on the Wings or fluff feathers in Vue aren't rendering correctly)
*Vue often creates dark squares on Songbird ReMix wings. I'm not really sure why this happens and there's no easy solution.  One thing that will minimize the issue is to use "Poly Mesh Options" and split the model shoulders (wings) by materials. Select the "wingfeathers" material in each shoulder to change the smoothing to 60% or less. Do this, or or in combination with the sub-divide for the easiest way.

*The best solution is to save your bird as an .obj, then go into a 3D modeller and sub-divide the the "wingfeathers" material once and save the .obj. If you do this you may have to re-enter the transparent material maps. Another way, or in combination with the sub-divide method, is to try turning the "wingfeathers" material smoothing down to 60% or less (either on the Poser CR2 or in the VUE mesh editor. This correct 95% of the issues.

Now go to Parameters Tab, select Mesh Resolution and turn the Subdivision level to 2 (or higher).  Now, export to Collada.  You will need to adjust the material settings for everything once in Vue.
