The server is back up now. You can test it out at your leisure. It will support P5 in the near future, but the existing product will only officially support P4 and pro pack. All animating of the characters have to be done inside Poser. NP will allow you render your final animation inside Bryce, as any still object will be rendered. It will automatically insert, texture, render and delete each frame of animation until the sequence is complete. The new render studio will allow you to stop and resume a rendering job, so if you need the computer for something else, or if your system crashes, all is not lost. I just updated the demo today, so download the latest copy and test it out. There is a tutorial to follow to help you on your way (see help section of the web site). Konan
