OK! Here's my problem. I have got scads of 3ds models that I want to import into Poser. Now before y'all say this is a 3ds problem I HATE that program! LOL OK what I want to do is this and I'm probably missing a stupid step in here some place. I want to import the model into Bryce5 (no problem there it works fine). Add textures to the object (no problem there looks great in render) Now following the steps in the manual (so we know it's not an R.T.F.M problem) I "E" the object and smooth it then Ctrl+D and save the file. Now I've saved it as both an OBJ and a 3ds file. It won't import the 3ds file into 3dsMax (which I really don't care about actually) It comes back as a bad somthing or other. I CAN however import and open both in Poser. Now here's where the shit hit's the proverbial. First off the scale is off, too big. I know I can save that out as an OBJ file and run it through Scaler I think right? Second problem? NO TEXTURES! Why? There has GOT to be a way to texture in Bryce and send out to Poser! Please tell me I'm not crazy OR did I just waste a month of my time! I know you're gonna ask me this so I'll answer it now. I LIKE to render in Poser. I've done my Poser people in Bryce and they all look plastic like the bumps dont' transfer and neither do the transparencies. I know theres a way to do this but it seems to me to take to long for my liking. THANK YOU in advance. Please help!!!!! I'm threatening my PC! Crash

There's only one kind of model that you can export from bryce and that's terrain and lattice. Can't export any other model. So, if you bring a model into bryce and texture it, that's where it lives forever. Above is my stupid tut on exporting. When BT's server goes back up he has a better tut. www.brycetech.com

sorry you can export textures in bryce.

Thanks y'all. I guess that the following applies... A: I'm not blind and can read. B: I not stupid because I couldn't figure it out. Oh well alot of folks gonna make some money off me for props! LOL! Crash

A. You are correct. B. You are correct. C. love to see your props. Most of us have other programs to make props so if you're gonna make money, its gonna be because of your talent not your program. Talent is a rare thing so please share with us.

To be specific; Bryce CANNOT export textures with anything else OTHER than terrains. Terrains, fine....3ds imports, nope. Scale? Just scale it down once you get it into Poser with the "scale" dial. Or yes, use the Scaler program. Yes, you (basically) have to re-texture your Poser models once you get then into Bryce, sucks but Bryce can be the better renderer. I say "can" because I see people that take Poser and Photoshop and blow everyone away. (IMO) There is a program called "Grouper 1.2" at that link. It is supposed to be a Poser to Bryce "middleman" that is supposed to help keep your maps in place. AgentSmith
