Quote -  I use Poser for...well...posing, but Bryce (now 7 Pro) for rendering. I have for years. It's an inexpensive program with a good, solid render engine. I also like what it does with lighting and textures.

I do the same thing and have been doing it for years.  I export Poser scenes/figures as OBJ files and import them into Bryce.  I don't bother with DAZ Studio.  All my frequently used texture maps are saved as materials in Bryce so retexturing the objects is very easy.
