Well, ok, Diane, I don't have Bryce so I can't make a comparison. I still have trouble with getting the export settings right on the Poser figure (that's why I haven't done a long shot with her yet) but I'll figure that out with a little experimentation. MartialF, I still haven't quite figured out how to bring in the texture map right, so I had to texture every body part by hand. I used the materials editor and combined some materials to get the colors I wanted...for instance, the skin color is a blend of terra cotta and beige. Bongo, I'm having fun playing with this program, but I wish the color selection for the materials was more like the pallette for the lighting colors. Blending materials is a pain when you're just trying to get a nice blue green color, for instance. Cindy, it took 2 1/2 hrs to render this at 800x600. Next time I'll try a larger size and see what happens. I've only been playing with this program (VUE 3) for the last 3 days, so I still have a lot to discover. Kate
