I think Bonestructure has it right. I had this problem in Poser in the past. I found that setting its size in poser to same size the image was rendered at worked fine. Any larger and poser is unable to interpolate so the image gets grainy. So just render in Bryce at 2X the size needed in Poser and pay attention to the size in Poser! I think a lot of people have this problem-I discovered the fix by playing around-I dont think its in the manual... Eric
