Bryce will use animations from Poser but it's somewhat of a pain to do. You have to export each frame as an OBJ file then import each into Bryce and set up the keyframes. If you've got MAX, Konan is working on a plugin that'll move a Poser animation into MAX - the last update I saw was pretty impressive. You could create an Avatar with no problem ('tis, after all, just a modified figure). As to creating something like Active Worlds - I don't know, either if it's possible or if anyone is working on it. Paul
