Has anyone had any luck importing a Poser 5 figure WITH hair into Bryce 5? I've followed Robin Woods' very thorough tutorial on Poser 4 to Bryce 4. She managed to get dynamic hair into Bryce, but I can't.

Where do you see dynamic hair on that page you linked to? P4 doesn't have dynamic hair, only P5... and it can't be imported into Bryce successfully without major problems (if at all).

Tools :  3dsmax 2015, Daz Studio 4.6, PoserPro 2012, Blender v2.74

System: Pentium QuadCore i7, under Win 8, GeForce GTX 780 / 2GB GPU.

Sorry, never used P4. I assumed dynamic hair wasn't new. So, what you're saying is, I should use modeled hair? Or all P5 figures are forced to be bald in Bryce? :-(

Go to the Digital Babes website. Go to the download section. Download as many of Kozaburo's free hair objects as you want. These will work in Poser5 and can be exported to Bryce with your figures. Some of them have special instructions to improve appearance when rendered in Firefly. Did I mention they're free?

"So, what you're saying is, I should use modeled hair? Or all P5 figures are forced to be bald in Bryce? :-(" Yep, that's what I'm saying. The link tjohn gave you above is to some great modeled hair, but it's not dynamic. Should be more than adequate for still images though.

BTW, darlisa has a nice little tut on Poser 5 hair and Bryce at www.fignations.com. But no, it's not easy nor easily doable. In fact, unless you have the patience of a saint, I'd say it's impossible. And yes, Kozaburo is the answer. Though some hair models raise the render time greatly, like Short and Messy.

I would suggest Bantam's 3D hair program but his site seems to be non-existant. It's great though it can get into high poly counts. It was used as the horses tail and the fur trim in my "Ambush" render.

Bantam 3D had to move/rename their site (I can't remember why). I got an e-mail from them saying so. Unfortunately, shortly after that happened, I had a HD crash and lost all my downloaded e-mails (not to mention a lot of other stuff), and I can't remember where they moved to.. Alas, a google search didn't help. If anyone can post a new link to (what was) Bantam 3D, I for one, would be extremely grateful. Cheers, Diolma
