I have Bryce 3D, and I was wondering what might be different in the export options in Bryce 4. Is it possible to export entire scenes in a format readable by other programs? What about objects/groups? Could you group all the elements of a scene and export them? (I suppose you'd lose all the materials, sky presets, etc.) As far as I can tell, in Bryce 3D you can only export objects as .obp. Let me know if I'm wrong, please! I know there's a list of formats for Bryce 4, I've seen it somewhere on the forum. And for my final question.....who owns Bryce these days, anyway? I know who got some of the other Metacreations hand-me-downs, but not Bryce.

Depending on what your exporting, Bryce 4 will export terrains and lattices by selecting the object and going to File/Export Object, Or you can export Bryce object Presets (.OBP)or Materials(.MAT) and Skies(.BSK) by selecting the preset and clicking export. If your wanting to export a 3D Mesh(.obj,.3ds,.dxf, etc.) select the object and click the "E" next to the model to Edit/Smooth Mesh. When that small window appears hit CTRL+D or COMMAND+D and Save As window opens, choose the format you want and hit save.
