Could someone point me to info concerning dynamic hair / hair objects from Poser 5/6 to Bryce?
Thanks much

Dynamic hair is not directly transferable from Poser to Bryce.
Some have tried to bring it into Bryce, take a look here.

Yeah Bryce at this point(version) does not support dynamic hair, or clothes, but another DAZ product; Carrara5Pro does.

It's actually the TransPoser plug-in for Carrara that imports Dynamic items, so you could be using Carrara Standard or Pro
C5 Standard+TransPoser = $350
C5 Pro (comes with TransPoser ) = $550

Thanks for the reply - I see Bryce and Vue images with Poser characters with hair that doesn't appear to be "postworked" in - how's that done?

A non-dynamic hairpiece can be imported into Bryce, Vue, etc right along with the figure, and then normally with just a little Material Lab tweaking, you can have the transparency map for the hairpiece work as it should, and the hair looks realistic.
With the transfer betweeen Studio and Bryce, no work on transparency maps are needed, everything come in looking as it should.

Attached Link: Stewer exports dynamic hair
According to Stewer, dynamic hair can be exported as an (albeit possibly huge!) .obj file. So if necessary you could possibly export the hair as an .obj and try to import that into Bryce.

I got various hair models from Aery Soul and they work just fine with Bryce/Daz Studio; a bit heavy on the polygons, but an excellent alternative to dynamic hair.
