I agree with Cambert on this one. Most of my renders are done in Bryce, due to a better and more flexible render engine. You also have procedural textures in Bryce, and better lighting options. Still, if you are doing a human object character study without the need for a lot of props or environmental objects, Poser is capable of very good (and fast) results. In general, like Cambert says, the programs are complimentary. No question that most Bryce artwork can benefit from the addition of a Poser figure, and Poser figures render better in Bryce. The only drawback in rendering Poser figures in Bryce is the steep learning curve in "adjusting" the Poser figure textures, transparency maps, etc., so that they work properly in Bryce. It is well worth the time spent, though.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
