What about the fact that right now you can open an animated poser file in Ray Dream. It's buggy I know. Doesnt save properly, textures and materials never correct, and rendering is usually bad too-sometimes. But, I wonder what happened with this. Doesn't seem to be any interst in it. I think Bryce is a good program for rendering scenes but not animation. I just doubt the program will improve much- 3 & 4 are the same if you ask me. But now that Metacreations is out of the picture for these programs who knows.
