I know the secret if you're using Simply 3D version 3. Load the model in Simply 3D3, save it as a vrml 1.0 object, export the textures to the same folder as the model in jpg format. Then go grab 3D Exploration at http://www.xdsoft.com/explorer/ for a free 30 day trial - it will convert most of Simply 3D's models to obj format or other formats even. It does batch conversions now too - I don't know if that function works in the unregistered version though. View the model in 3D Exploration, save it as an obj file and make sure you tell it to create a mtl file (materials) file and save vertex normals so your model will be fully textured automatically when loaded in Poser or Bryce. If your models have transparency settings, you will have to reset them in Poser though, the conversion process doesn't preserve those settings. I've done hundreds of conversions already, have them as poser props now - love this 3D Exploration software, registered it right away. Some of Simply3D's models do not export well in vrml and therefore don't convert well either - like the houses are warped bad and a few others. The majority work ok, I just tried the accordian conversion, it worked fine.
