Greetings! :) I hope you can help me. I'm new to Poser and Bryce, and spent the last weeks with various tutorials. I'm glad I stumbled across this wonderful comunity! After making some models in Bryce4 I learned that I can not import them into Poser because they are made out of primitives. :( So how do you find the right poses for your figures to interact with the objects? (I made a camera in Bryce and want a poser figure to use it.The Plan was to import the camera into Poser, find the right pose and export the figure into Bryce.) How do you use Bryce and Poser together? Thank you for your help! Judy.

The simplest way? Have both running simultaneously, then get what you THINK is the right pose, then export and import into Bryce. Then check the pose. Make any corrections in Poser and try again. Keep trying 'til it works ... :) That's the EASIEST/SIMPLEST way that I (note emphasis, someone else will probably tell you better ... :) can come up with. There are other ways that involve modelling the camera in another program, importing into Poser and posing and then import both figure and camera into Bryce. But that's the more difficult/complicated/time consuming way (at least for me ... :) HTH, jstawarz

That's how I do it. You have to guess at the best pose in poser and thyen adjust your object in Bryce accordingly to conform as closely as possible to it. If it isn't exactly right, camera angles and such can also help make it look right.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.

Sometimes I have sort of similar objects or can use a scaled primitive in Poser to act like the object. For instance, I have a chair to use for sitting the model. Lots of times you can just sort of improvise or find an .obj that will work good enough to pose with.
