It works with or without DAZ Studio and only partly well, with or without DAZ Studio. If you import w/o DS, you still have to go hunting for your textures and you still have to manually set ambience, transparency and bump. If you export out of DS, then import to Bryce, you don't have to go looking for textures because DS duplicates them into another file. But you still have to adjust ambience, transparency and bump. The biggest problem I have now, other than DS crashing constantly, is that when it exports, it arbitrarily loses objects. I created a pz3 file in Poser (a fully clothed Vicky) and imported it to DS. Worked great. When I export Vicky as an .obj and import it into Bryce, shes suddenly topless! I tried it with several different shirt/pants combos and each time she's topless. I think DS is perverted and may explain all those nekkid Vickys over there in the Poser gallery!
