CastIronFlamingo, who has developed the freeware "Grouper" for properly importing Poser meshes and maps into Bryce is now developing another application that will work in between Poser and Bryce... Called "Pharos 1.0", it will take a native Poser lighting setup array...and export it for use into Bryce! Any of those with Poser will know how incredibly easy it is to change lighting enviroments in Poser, just by double-clicking different presets. Now, you will be able to use those Poser lighting presets directly in Bryce. Here is an excerpt from CastIronFlamingo; -------------------- Pharos is a freeware application that can assist you in transferring Poser lighting schemes to Bryce. A wide variety of high quality light presets are available for Poser however, Poser will not export them and it is a very time-consuming task to recreate even a simple lighting scheme in Bryce. The process of manually converting light schemes becomes virtually impossible with complex global illumination presets. Pharos reads a Poser scene file (.pz3) or a Poser light preset file (.lt2), extracts the relevant lighting scheme information, and creates a VRML 1.0 (.wrl) file that describes a good approximation of the original Poser light preset. When the VRML file is imported into Bryce, it creates native Bryce light sources. ---------------------- This program is still being finished, and as yet has no release date. Coming soon.

that's great... now if we can just import Bryce lighting (particularly radial lights) into Poser, that would terrific. :) seriously, though... this sounds like it'll definitely be worth checking out.

I agree with FWTempest...It needs to be the other way around,But I also agree with Agentsmith,But I on the other hand do not use the lights in poser if I am going to export a model for import into Bryce just because the lighting system in Bryce is way to easy to use and in my opinion is far superior to Poser's lighting....Now I have been studying and trying to learn Python and I even have my 69 year old dad who used to program way in the day,trying to figure how to come up with a radial light for Poser,But this Program will really be useful for all of the Main Poser users who do Export their models for import into Bryce....Now it is great to see folks finding ways to HELP Bryce get back on the attack...Soon we will rule....

Sounds cool.

contains 2 of my favorite words, 'useful', and 'freeware'..;)
