I've read the tutorials, I've tried putting the object in a box, I've tried saving the hair as a seperate object.... all to no avail. Either my characters import into Bryce with no hair or if I export the poser 4 hair, it looks plastic :( Dynamic hair won't export at all :( Any help would be appreciated as I'd rather render in Bryce than Poser.

Like you said, Poser 5 Dyanamic Hair cannot be exported. Taking any Poser figure into Bryce has always been one of the keystones of frustration. Using a midlle-man program called "Grouper" will help those maps that you use on Poser figure, transport into Bryce more readily. AgentSmith

Thanks AgentSmith :) I have Grouper(great program) Guess I'll have to figure out how to do hair in Bryce then ;) or just have bald models :P

Squeeka, most of the times I go for baldies :) But, if you want, there are some very good free tuts out there (in the tut section) that you can use to paint hair in postwork with very good results (after a bit of the usual practice). Looks for Crasher's tut about using PS or PSP, or for linwhite's tut about using EyeCandy Fur filter. I never tried to make hair directly in Bryce. Frankly, I would'nt know where to begin... :) S.

grins They look kinda strange bald but what the heck :) I'll give it a try :) Actually, you would think with the 5 or 6 3D programs I have on this computer, I'd be able to come up with something that looks semi life-like. I'll have a shot at the postwork too and maybe if I get some more free time(not enough atm ) in the next week or so, I'll post something(not guaranteeing what'll she'll look like:P) Jen :)

There is a tutorial at Poser Arcana that is titled Importing Vicki into bryce, or something like that. It covers how to add texture and trans maps to Poser figures and Hair. P5 dynamic hair wont work in Bryce at all. Birth of Venus in my gallery is done this way. Its Stephanie, and Mayas Yuna Hair.

Take a look at www.bantam3d.com for a program called hair. It takes a fairly powerful computer to handle but you can get dynamic hair out of it and it's $15 USD. Otherwise there are tutorials for getting transmaps onto the hair and so forth. Do a search on the forum for Bantam hair and you'll see an example.

you can export poser 5 hair: http://www.fignations.com/jelisa/tutorials/p5hair3.html you will need a good transmap to make it look good though.

and i have been successful in making a volumetric hair material for bryce. It looks not too bad. i'll post a few examples when i have time.

The content CD for Bryce come with a volume hair texture, it's what I used in my Plant X refueling.

If you get some of Kozaburo's wonderful P4 hair meshes/texture/transmaps, they apply very well to bryce import. (see attached link) This is what all of my figures use in my images.

Sweet! You guys are the best! I'll try all of it and post what I come up with. Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions, Poser can be a bit frustrating when you're just learning how to use it and I knew if I asked on here, I'd learn something new :)

You're all wonderful!

Thanx a lot Incarnadine! I donwloaded Kozaburo's hair types, didn't know he had most of them free... they looks so good! S.

Yes, if you have Poser and Bryce, you owe it to yourself to check out digital babes.com and free download your a$$ off. I did a long time ago. (Hmm, better go back, there may be some new things I want).
