Once you have your model down, and you want to create a scene, 3d for animation, how do you go about doing this? I have bryce 5 and would like to be able to create a 3d scene, but once I do, how do I export the entire scene into poser? Is this possible?

create the props in bryce, export as obj, go into poser and import

Bryce can export some objects as Wavefront .OBJ files, but not everything - as far as I know, booleans won't work. If you create a Bryce scene using only objects that can be exported, you can then export the scene (I'd suggest exporting component by component, for easier retexturing) as Wavefront .OBJ files. Poser can import those. But you will probably have to do some repositioning and rescaling. Usually .OBJs imported into Poser turn out incredibly large and must be scaled down by a factor of 100 or so. I don't know how Bryce works in this respect, that'll take some experiments. By the way, most Poser/Bryce users work the other way around: they export the Poser figures as Wavefront .OBJ files and import those into Bryce. The Bryce render engine can handle much bigger scenes than the Poser render engine. Retexturing in Bryce is necessary, and a major pain in the butt. Still, quite a few artist work this way (prog, Calum5, others)

What about other programs for animation? What is commonely used? I also have 3ds max

By the way, if you're looking for animation, check out Vue 4 Pro and Vue 5. They can import Poser animations and have landscape/scenery tools that are at least equal to Bryce. The Vue render engine is much, much faster than both Poser and Bryce, which is a real asset for animators. Vue 4 Pro has some great built-in animation tools: for instance the Pedestrian cycle. Just import a Poser figure doing a walk motion (those 30 frame Walk Designer poses are great for this), and you can create a walking path in Vue that the Poser figure will follow - including height variatinos!

Hmm sounds very interesting I will definately look into it, is it easy to use?

I have both Bryce 5 and Vue 4.5 Pro. Vue is a LOT easier to work with IMO. I gave up struggling with Bryce after a day or two, I got up to speed with Vue within a couple of hours.

Sounds very promising. Animation and posing is pretty easy?

For Vue (not sure about Vue 5), you will need Mover to do animation. Check the link!
