In Max it's very easy to select pieces of a mesh and separate them if desired. I have most things already textured in Poser and import clothes as a single mesh..then just apply the same texture, bump, transparancy maps...whatever. meshes can also be brought in in pieces...the same ones Poser uses..collar, shoulder, etc. Most all full 3D applications can do this easily, as that's what their meant to do. I didn't mean to be scarcastic about Bryce, but it's a specialized program and it's functions are designed for it's specific intention...not as a general 3D editor.
