Natural Pose currently imports Poser animations within Bryce with excellent results that you can check at the web site: http://innuendo.ev.ca/NatPose/index.htm and the price is not too bad: $99.95 The characters are imported as 3D and pick 3D lights and shadows from the Bryce scene. The author is also working on an additional plugin with the same characteristics, to allow for importing of Poser animations into Vue 3 and this should happen in a short time. :-) We at the Vuedesprit mailing list at Yahoogroups have already "pushed" the author by sending him several emails asking for a Vue4 plugin too, and he replied to me that because of this support, he's going to make a Vue4 plugin too, when he'll get his copy of Vue4. So it shouldn't take long for Vue 4 too. :-) Although the author already promised the Vue 4 plugin, I think that a further email to him from your part asking for it won't hurt our cause ;-) There is also another program for Bryce called Susanna http://www.datamike.com/susu.htm which does import Poser animations into Bryce, and it's cheaper ($50 I think) but there is no evidence of planned support of Susanna for Vue d'Esprit. Rumours have been out that Poser Pro Pack "will" support export of animations to Vue d'Esprit in the future. Direct inquiries at Curious Labs led to (not surprising) reply that the company's plans can not be revealed... so it's up to you if to trust that rumour or not - should that happen, it would surely be the best of options for you. Provided taht you can wait for this uncertain option of course... Orio
