zoran, out of curiosity, what exactly are you trying to import into B5? I just did a test run and had no problem importing a V3 figure with hair from P5 into B5. When exporting your figure from Poser 5, make sure that you have the following checked in your export box: - include body part names - include figure names - weld bodypart seams

Once your figure(s) are imported into B5, you still have some work to do. Supposedly DAZ's Bryce Turbo importer eases this import, but you have to use it after exporting from Poser to Daz Studio (currently free at DAZ's site as it's in beta). then use the turbo import to get it into Bryce. From what I've read, it does import the most of the texture maps correctly, but I still just export from P5 directly to B5. This does entail some work. Depending on the complexity of the figure(s) you have imported, you'll have some textures to correct (clothing, lashes, hair, eye corneas, etc.) and transparencies to blend via Bryce's mat lab.

I'm attaching a link to Robin Wood's tutorial on exporting from Poser to Bryce. Although written for P4 and B4, you can still use most of the techniques, especially once in B5.

Otherwise, you can go to DAZ's BryceTalk forum and look for the link to download their free turbo importer. You'll also need to download their Daz Studio and their should be a link in their Poser forums.

Hang in there. It's not as complicated as you think, just time consuming. But as with all applications, it does get easier with practice, I hope this helps!
