Can I upgrade my existing objects from nPose 2 to nPose 3 by simply exchange the scripts?

No. We provide an tool called UpdateTool nPose 2 to nPose 3 that should help you with the upgrade process.

Should I upgrade existing nPose 2 objects to nPose 3?

Absolutely upgrade. The process is very easy and nPose 3 offers bug fixes as well as many new features which will allow your build to grow in ways nPose 2 could never allow. The performance of nPose 3 exceeds that of nPose 2 in many ways.
