Until very recently, I hardly ever rendered in Poser. I exported my models once posed to Bryce 3 because I prefer the appearance the materials in that program. Now one thing I've noticed when people do this, they don't smooth the model. They import the textures (or Bryce 4 demands that you do). But the Poser model looks a little blocky. If you smooth the figure it looks much better. Yes, all the peices come apart but that's better for using materials on all the parts. Its very tedious, I know, but I like the results. And with Bryce 4, once textured, the whole thing can be regrouped so it can be moved and positioned. I have some excellent skin materials made by my sister, Verdie, for just these types of exports. Believe it or not, wood materials work on hair. Since Bryce 3 and 4 are the only other products that I can afford at the moment, I can only comment on them. If anyone is interested in the skin materials, they can e-mail us.
