I have a question about certain types of files I have downloaded for use with Bryce. Three format types of which I am not familiar with that are supposedly object files. they are .3ds, easytoy work space, and RAR. As I can find the .3ds format in the list of types that can be imported into Bryce, that does not worry me as much as the other two; and I can get the easytoy work space files into DAZ Studio, where I can export as .obj for import into Bryce. The one that is a total mystery to me is the RAR format. Each of the object files of this type had .obj as its format in the listing before I downloaded them, but they show up as this RAR format on my computer once I have acquired them. They are models I would really like to use. My question is actually twofold. How do I import RAR files into Bryce, or do I need some special plugin or software program that can convert them into usable files?

Stay awesome!

PS: Here is a piece I recently did using Blender and Bryce together. The main parts of the model were done with Blender, and the Boolean operations, the background, and the render were done in Bryce. I did no UV mapping for this one, the text is actually a series of text objects, and the striping is actually a separate object as well. Let me know what you think.
