In Poser, you can easily import the 3ds model. For Bryce, I'd suggest importing it into Poser then exporting it into obj format for Bryce. (Bryce doesn't do as well with 3ds. I know you can smooth out 3ds in Bryce, but obj is better, IMHO.) To bring a 3ds object into Poser, just go to File: Import and tell it 3ds file. Just point to the file and in it goes. To export the object, just go File: Export. Hope this helps!

Or in Bryce what you can do is import it , open it , if it isn't textured then texture it. Once you're done , group all the pieces together and then goto the "create" option above you then pick a catagory then click the "add" button. What this does is create an .obp file in Bryce that you can open as almost a stadard object , plus it's already textured , and you get a cool thunmbnail of it to tell what you saved. Other than that send it to me and I'll do it for you.

Pack: I have Poly trans 2.2 So I can convert it for you to an obj or whatever you would like. :) ar2g
