Hi, I've been trying to add a poser character with clothes that use transparency into bryce. I tried putting all the files into one folder but that didn't work. I was wondering if there is a tutorial with pictures that shows how do it

Export the poser and all the clothes as .obj. Then in Bryce hit file/import object and lead it to the directory you exported to. Does this help? You can do the transparency in Bryce

In the Materials Lab, select the small arrow at the top of the screen to open the Shading Mode menu, Select Blend Transperancy. In the OPTICS section of the Material Lab, check the 2nd dot next to transperancy and set the component to picture(Click the "P"), import your transmaps into the Picture Editor, load your map into the first box, then click copy, goto the 2nd window(where bump maps go) and click paste, click ok to delete current selection. Click the Exit checkmark and return to the Materials Lab. This process will have to be repeated for each body part the tansperancy map is applied to.

thanks for the info but is there a tutorial on the web with pictures as a guide?

goto www.brycetech.com .They had a good tut with pictures there. or look in the tutorial sektion in this forum, there should be a tut "importing vicky in bryce" in which the transmaps are described

Don't hope too much for that, alexadh. I'm not a programmer and know both apps only as a user. But from how they are "feel", from the GUI and more, I suppose that Bryce and Poser are very different in vital key aspects. To put them together the codes for both apps had to be written entirely new from scratch. Corel and Curios Labs can't do that at the moment. Instead we should hope that both can launch Version 5 of their product very soon. - wal
