Well, often my textures come in with the figures, but they aren't 'strong' enuf--you know what I mean. Fiddling with them in the materials lab just improves them considerably. And then--try importing a figure with Yamato's hair--geez. If you look on the Bryce forum, I got so far and can't figure out the last part. I'm just experimenting with the hair, so haven't played with the figure texture, etc. I know how to do that so that isn't a problem. But--the transmaps for the hair are another issue. I have't tried Allie's hair yet either. I'm sure you'll do some wonderful things with Poser/Bryce. I'm hoping I can get a bit of focus this winter and move on, but I don't know--I have a lot of 'issues' right now LOL (doesn't everyone?) Anxious to see your work--its inspiring.
