I just rendered the helm in the pixelated picture to show that I wasn't getting the same effect as I was in Poser. What I decided to do was to export the poser figure again with no textures to the body or the clothes and go in bryce and apply the texture to the body parts 1 by 1, and then to the clothes parts 1 by 1. However, I will apply metal materials from bryce presets to see how they work out on the armor clothes. I cannot select all the character body parts at once since there are clothes on top of her, so I'm having to click tab to get to the next part. Is there an easier way to get all the character body parts selected, then all the clothes on top selected? Thanks for the link too...it did help out some. Bryan
