Thanks WDUPRE for the insite! Its good to know I wont have to re-rig everything for sure. That was one of my biggest concerns. I will be using a lot of outdoor environements as well as space-based scenes so thats why I was looking to use Bryce. I do have Vue as well. Im thinking to follow your advice and try doing all of the animation in Cinema 4D. The downside is getting my Byce terrains and environments into Cinema... I have another question. Which export formats support animation? 3DS, Wavefront, etc... If I could export the actual animation from C4D when completed, then maybe I could import into Bryce or Vue and do the environments/ terrains there. I wonder how professionals merge their animated characters with animated environments and terrainsfor movies and games? Is it because they only use one software for everything? Hmmmm...

Thanks for the tips tho! That will definately give me some direction in this thing! B.T.W, I notice that you suggested C4D instead of Daz Studio. Why is that? Does Daz Studio have lots of drawbacks?

Thanks again!
