Extensive testing with models in .3ds format seem to support the theory that Bryce indeed imports also the texture data. Never once have I lost ANY texture data on imported models. TIP : YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE MESH FILE AND THE CORRESPONDING TEXTURE FILES IN THE SAME FILE FOLDER WHERE YOU'RE IMPORTING FROM. Good luck !

The human eye focal lentgh is approximately between 50-60mm when translated to 35mm photographic terms. As it happens, the 55mm objective is also known as the "normal" objective, meaning the FOV is pretty much the same as the human eye. I use 50mm FOV in Poser and it works just fine for me. Also, all this is "in the eye of the beholder", apparently.(Yes, I DO have glasses...)
