That's part of the problem.. The one lamp is from Trimax,I converted it too DXF with 3d win ogl..I did a quickie in Bryce3...The one on the left has nothing as far color added, That's how it came into Bryce,,,Then in the materials lab,I did the one on the right the way I would like to do it in Poser4...The mesh(3ds.) that came from Trimax,When brought into Bryce was all one color.Take the DXF into Poser4 and it's still all one color,,I hope this helps a little more... http://personal.netwrx.net/pitts/lamp.jpg
