I have similar problems in OS X; but the importing same poser object is no problem in OS 9 so I tend to do it that way and then open the Bryce file in OSX and then- no problem. I haven't got round to using the update for OS X yet so not sure if that will work, but above is certainly one work around. It works for me but I'vegot the luxury of having two machines one with OS 9 and t'other with OS X. I'd be grateful if anyone could shed light on wheteher the patch fixes this also or if it is an entirely different bug! cheers iMan PS Pierre- I'm sure you'll agree that othere than that OS X is to die for! The ultimate OS also being able to set a render and leave it to work on various other files is dream come true also. PC/ Wintel nerders take of note!
