thanks for the link... even though I don't use Bryce - there's some tips in there that's useful for Carrara users. I really should get around to doing a tutorial for Poser to Carrara - as many of the things you touch on here are things I believe in strongly regarding my Poser to Carrara rendering too. (like saving your Poser texturing for Bryce or Carrara, where it can be done much better, and dispensing with it altogether in Poser) Also some tips on exporting from Poser is useful, lots of people don't realise there's some logic in how you export as well. Your tips for exporting by using the grouping tool is something that's exceedingly useful, though more for morphing in Carrara's case as you end up with named polygons then, less for rendering as Carrara has an import that allows you to split the materials to individual polymeshes.
