if I design an animated man in POSER, using the walk designer for example, how can i take that animated figure and stick it into a BRYCE scene?? or can I?? thanks

Yes, you can in a very long and memory costly way: Export each frame of your animation as an OBJ, then bring each OBJ one at a time into Bryce and render a single frame. Once all the frames are rendered assemble them in another program. Or...you can import a Bryce rendered still or movie as a background in Poser.

You know I was just backing up my harddrive when I found an old folder. It contained a walk through and a small avi of an animated poser child in Bryce 4. It was made by someone named Cecilia Zimmer (could be wrong on the last name...or the first for that matter) and I found it after reading an issue of 3D Artist which had a link to the file and avi on their site. Basically it's a work around in which you bring the figure in...break it up into pieces...then reattach it with spheres that barely show at the joints. You would then rotate the spheres for the desired movement. With some time I imagine it could be made to look convincing: KEYWORD: TIME. It was pretty interesting to see but I would NEVER have the patience... PAN~ www.federation-21.com www.big-i.com "Your 'i' on the digital art industry!"
