I have created a scene in Bryce that I want to be able to import into poser for an animation I created in Poser... Can't export the scene from Bryce, and when I save the animation from poser I end up with 1 file for each frame... WIll I have to inport each frame one at a time into Bryce to create the animation? HELP!!!!

I think there is no other way :-(((

yup, you're screwed. There's no way to integrate Bryce/Poser animations, other than by creating a new scene for each frame. Wouldn't that be nice??? The alternatives: a-) export each object in Bryce individually as an OBJ file, and import into Poser. This only works for terrains, lattices, and imported mesh objects. b-) use the Bryce animation, and import your poser figure. The downside is that the poser figure can't really move inside Bryce... I think if you ungroup it, you can get some really cheesy motion, but nothing like what you can do in Poser. c-) use another modelling program (other than Bryce) that can export all of its objects to DXF. bummer.

Or... you can save the animated sequenced files from Poser done on a blue screen (or green) background, then composite them into a series of sequenced Bryce scenes in a program such as Adobe After Effects. No matter how you try, it's still a lot of work.

I recently used a Bryce rendered set as a backdrop or background in Poser for my animation "Chased". In my case it was perfect because only the figured needed to move. I had to have the character turn and run out of the frame - so I rendered the portion of the set that was needed and from the correct angle, imported it into Poser, animated my figure and it all came out well. Ironically, the shot prior to the person turning was rendered as an animation in Bryce with the same poser figure imported as a still object - so I really cross pollinated on this one. : ) If have or get the BINK player, you can download the anim at my site.
