Daz has a plugin that lets you import quite easily from Studio to Bryce. Since Studio is free I would recommend popping over there and downloading that. If you do your posing in Poser save the pose, you can reload it into Studio and export from there. That's much easier than exporting an obj from Poser and picking groups in Bryce and reassigning materials. And, stay tuned, Daz is ramping up to release Bryce5.5 which should make the whole process even better (we all hope). While my home 3D experience began with Poser and Bryce, I have now included Lightwave 8. Really powerful, proffesional app but make no mistake, due to the more you can do the more time you can spend learning to do it. Don't know anything about C4D, so I can neither recommend or disuade. good luck
