Simple - don't bother spending ANY time texturing the figures in Poser. Import the untextured figures to Bryce and do all the texturing there. This was very much the best practice with Poser 4, which had a horrible materials system. One could easily save a library of Poser textures within Bryce to make things even easier. Now I prefer to use Vue, though, since the materials editor in Poser 5 and 6 is vastly improved. But you STILL have to retexture most materials to get them to work in Vue. Firstly, everything comes across with a shininess of 20, which is frequently not what you want. Secondly, anything with any reflectivity in Poser comes over as totally mirror-like. So unless your materials in Poser have no specularity and no reflectivity, expect more work. I just don't understand why e-on don't do something about this - it's not as if pz3 was an encrypted format. The material values are sitting there in the pz3 file and just have to be converted into the Vue equivalents. It should be a simple task.
