It is only possible to import simple object animations in Lumion, i.e. move/rotate/scale animations.

From FAQ:  "It is not possible to import vertex animations, morph animations or bone animations in Lumion."

Please see FAQ: HOW DO I IMPORT ANIMATIONS? LUMION 3: Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts.

Here's a reply by Morten that should cover the questions you have about Quest3D etc:  import animation

and Import Animated Poser Characters

Hey Peter,

Does Lumion 4 allow bone animations?  It doesn't seem to be working, I thought that was on the list for new features in version 4...

Hi Jimmy

Sorry but no.  Please refer: Lumion Web Site: LUMION 4.0.4: RELEASE NOTES.

Perhaps there was quite a bit of discussion around release time about the wish and the reasons why these are not currently supported. 

There is however, mention by Morten that internally for new characters being developed for the Library, that bone animation is being used.  This is quite different from features providing users access to import their own bone animations, nor should it be taken in speculation to indicate some future possibility  .

Before you ask: The reason these errors do not affect older 3D people is that the new 3D people use bones for animations, instead of vertex-based animations.
