Built and rendered the landscape in Bryce.  Exported the Bryce scene to .hdr and used it as an IBL in Reality to render the figure in the foreground with Alpha channel checked.  Then placed the png from lux over the Bryce image in photoshop.  

Nice job!  How long to do the whole process?

If I were to quibble about anything, it would be that the straps on her dress seem to be too thin.  But it's only a minor thing.

I can accept that quibble.  I only spent about 10 minutes in Daz, loaded the character, threw on the dress, added the lights and let it go overnight. Already had my settings saved for the skin and hair and used a preset pose from V5 with some minor adjustments. 

Don't have a total time for the Bryce work, but it was a few hours a day over 3 days.   3 pieces of terrain that I built and tweaked textures, water was pretty much just drop in and adjust the placement.  Most of my time was spent in the Sky Lab.  Render time was about 28 hours. 

After all that I really wish that the "Send to Daz" function worked so I could have actually placed my character in the scene and not have to Photoshop it.  All of the textures came out screwed up in Daz and looked horrible with both 3Delight and Reality.  I didn't feel like redoing textures again.

I think the best thing I've learened in Bryce so far is that I can make some nice skies and turn them into IBL's to use in Daz.
