Well I have a new toy for this holiday season. Now I need to learn the ropes. I am in awe of some of the renderings I have seen in the galleries of Poser and Vue.

In an attempt to do the same to get there, I have been trying to export Poser characters to Bryce to start with and have had little luck. I have exported from Poser 5 into .3DS and .DXF, but these files crash Bryce. In Strata, the .3DS files would not load and the .DXF file loaded but the clothes came off (except the boots..hehe).

I would appreciate pointers (links) on how to port to other rendering programs. Also, is it better to render in other programs or within Poser?

Thanks in advance
