Quote - I downloaded the free version of Bryce 5 from Daz, as well as Poser 5 from CP.  Up uyntil recently, all my rendering was done in Pro Pack, and none of it was animation.  Would Bryce be a good render engine for animation, or is Poser 5 the better one?

As noted, bryce is one of the slower engines out there; the years that Corel left it moribund aren't going to be undone with a .5 release. The biggest issue is that Bryce never was particularly Poser friendly, in that you had to import the .obj file, and then convince the textures to apply themselves to the correct locations. It is slightly better, in that you can use the Daz Studio app as a loader, but you are talking a kludge under the best of conditions. It can be done, but speed is not going to be one of the hallmarks. But you do have Bryce Lightning, so you could assemble a rendergarden to help offset the 'number of frames per render cycle' part of the equation. It's the 'time per frame' that will be the killer with Bryce....
