Looking at your site I see you mostly work in poser. So, I did a little playing around with an object I created in TS transporting it over to Bryce (as closer to poser as I own). I discovered that TS handles .. smoothing?.. better then bryce. So I am not sure how much help my creating the throne would be for you, since I would have to put a HUGE number of verticies into the image to make it smooth in Bryce/Poser.. here are some expamples of what I'm talking about. First is in truespace, next bryce. Same object.
