Ok I have two characters The awesome free Daz Dinokonda and the Daz Millenium dragon LE. I want to put the head of the dragon on the Dinokonda's body but I am not sure how to do this. I would appreciate any help given on how this can be accomplished. I thought you could do this in Poser but I am not sure about Daz Studio. Also when I then import the model in Bryce (thought I was being clever and would just delete the head) the whole body is deleted. Is there like an export selected body part. HELP! LOL
Thank you!

Huh it looks like if I turn visble to off that might work but I am still open to suggestions!

You can delete body parts in Bryce like that, if you break the D|S link first.
EDIT - I think you might also have to ungroup the figure too; I can't remember...
Friends don't let friends use booleans.

You have a couple of options.
First - yes in Bryce ungroup and delete the parts you want gone and
then move together and regroup.
Second - In daz setup each figure in the position that you want the figure then
export as object with mat & tex. Open your 3d editor, ( I use AutoCad and Metaseque )
open the first object and remove the part you do not want, Import the other Obj do
the same, now put together what you want. In a 3d editor you can now line up
the nodes and create and join the two objects as one. you will also need to make
sure all material and textures are set up properly. Now save object and import into Bryce.
For something like this I would prefer Metaseque as my editor
but its users preference.

To make it easy.
Make the body part you want to replace invis, either in the scene tab, or of it´s not possible there, by changing the opacity in the advanced surface tab to 0.
THen put the other figure over the first, make anything, you don´t want invis, et voila.
Adjust.
There you go. ;)
On a side note, changing the opacity might bringt different results, than making it invis in the scene tab.
Just try it out.

Thank you all for your help!
Here is how it turned out pretty darn good I might add if I do say so myself.

Thank you for the assistance. I do sure like DazStudio more then I thought I would and since I have not upgraded Poser in a long time I think I will stick with it instead.
