Does anyone know how or if you can bring poser 4 animation into bryce 4?

::sharp intake of breath:: It can be done, but it isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. What you would have to do is export each frame of your Poser animation as an OBJ file. These would then have to be imported into Bryce and placed into each key-frame, positioned and textured. You would have to move each and every object into and out of frame for each and every frame. (Now that would be hard work). Paul

LoboUK's right...it can be a LOT of work doing it that way. We're all hoping that perhaps future versions of Bryce and Poser will allow for this to happen easily (it's probably the one most requested feature). However, in light of the way things seem to be turning ou for Bryce and Corel, well...something tells me not to hold my breath... While it's true that it really is tough to move the Poser animation directly into Bryce...if you have access to to an AVI/video editor like Adobe Premiere you can combine Bryce and Poser animations together using blue- or greenscreen compositing. For example, you can "shoot" the Poser animation against a blue or green background, then combine that in Premiere with a Bryce animation background to make the green or blue background transparent. I've used this technique quite often and it works pretty nicely, expecially as the shadows in Poser appear to come through in/on the Bryce animation (something that doesn't seem to work well of you try the alternate way of importing your Bryce AVI as a background in Poser). It can take a bit of work getting both animations to properly "line up", but you can come up with some pretty nice looking results this way. I know this isn't exactly what you're loookig for, but it's an alternative to consider... Hope this helps! --Har

If whoever owns Bryce now would make a plug-in developer's kit, I would make a plug-in within a month or two. Konan

Just a little addition to the Blue-Green Screen thing mentioned above. My experience is that you don't even need to bother with either color. Poser automatically creates an Alpha Channel when it renders an animation (at least witht he Animation Codec). So you just take the rendered film into your editing program and activate the Alpha Channel.

Interesting....never thought of that! I'll give that shot next time. Thanks for the tip!
