Hi,
I just signed up for a couple interesting tutorials on character modeling, but
would also find one dedicated to the workflow between Bryce and 3Ds Max,

Well theres not much to go on as both programs barely share any data at all. Best you can do is export models out of 3dsmax, and into bryce. Or collapse bryce boolean meshes in Bryce 6 and export them to a format 3dsmax can import. There's not much more sharing you can do really?

Don't forget to collapse your modifier stack(s) if you are exporting from Max. Goes along with the XForm reset.
Don't save the collapsed objects as .max files though, unless for a backup. You lose all of the ability to alter the modifiers when you collapse them; but the file is much smaller.
