Don't give up Melanie!! :-) I personnally prefer to render my projects in Bryce and always import Poser people in my scenes. There's a really good tutorial for importing Vicky in Bryce at: http://www.awakemm.com/poserarcana/ There is also a little freeware named Grouper which can save you a lot of time in Bryce: it creates a new obj file after "grouping" the parts which have the same material. So you can make your settings in Bryce far more quickly. It can also change "aaaa.bum" by "aaaa.jpg". I don't remember where I've got it, if you are interested I can search the URL.
