Thanks for the pointers on finding a wolf and other hints at getting it fm Poser files to D/S and into Bryce.  I'm now learning to change the texture maps to suit and this is a preview of a larger scene I hope to complete in next couple weeks.  I want to convey deep emotions in it so I'll take my time.   This is a test render of Belki, one of the pack.  Yes, the terrain is pixilated but this is draft stuff.  Sadly the wolf obj will not allow any articulation of head parts except the ears.  I will be doing al lot by freehand in the final stages. 

Have you tried the DAZ wolf?  It's fully boned and poseable with some fairly nice mats.

When I was making my wolf picture last week I compared the Daz Wolf with the wolf morphs applied to the Millenium Dog.  It was a close run thing but eventually I picked the dog because there were more morphs available overall.  I did alter the wolf morphs substantially to do things like broaden the paws and chance the shape round the neck and chest because I felt it still looked too doggy.

If you do decide you want to take this further and get the dog package I'd be happy to send you a file that would give you my wolf morphs.  I don't actually know enough about exporting things from poser to make it generally available but always happy to help out a fellow wolfophile/luphile???

Look forward to seeing your results.  I really find it startling how strongly wolves appear to draw out and help express strong emotion so will be keen to see yours. :)

**Tks Kathye, ** I've already put Daz wolf in my cart, but I may exchange it per your recommendation.  The mats included with free wolf in Poser are lacking also.  They don't have head maps specifically and don't look well at all for front and top views.   They are good for distant shots only.
