I have Poser4, myself, and prefer not to use Bryce, so I can't be much help to you. However, if you click on the Tutorials link near the banner ad at the top of this page, you may find some leads for what you're looking for. You can also ask at the Bryce forum about modeling clothing in that program (although I think you might want to look at something different for modeling). Take care; Chas

If you're new to Poser, you might be better off just learning to use Poser before you try anything else. There's a lot to learn, just with Poser, without bringing in a lot of other programs. Making clothing is not easy, and is not a project for beginners. Generally, it's done in a 3D modelling program such as Carrara, Wings, 3DStudioMax, etc., then imported into Poser. Clothing is probably the most difficult thing to make, because it must be conformed (made to fit the figure it's supposed to fit). Importing objects someone else has made is fairly easy, and you're probably better off starting there. Armor for soldiers and robes for mages are available for free download on the net. Google is your friend. :-) I don't use Bryce, so I can't help you there. If no one here responds, try asking in the Bryce forum.

okay, i'll step up for the bryce spot. i recently bought bryce (like with in the past couple of months) and have trouble believing that it will do clothing of any sort. i'll admit that i haven't had much time to tinker with bryce yet, and haven't bought poser yet, but i would defintely say that poser is the program to stick with as far as anything character modeling is concerned. it is possible to import stuff (general term) into bryce and maybe texture it there as well. i would also offer that carrera, et. al. is a wise recommendation for props generation. (currently have amapi 5.1 that seems to be good for such.) hope this helps kt
