Is it possible to use Bryce objects (.obp files) in Poser 4 without having Bryce ? Any help welcome. Robin.

you can Export terains and "imported" objects from Bryce as a variety of formats that can then be imported into Poser.

Just curious - why has no one ever created a conversion program? Technical? Legal?

Possibly because the render options are so much better in Bryce than Poser that exporting from B to P just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I wish it was possible tho, because I have some items I created in Bryce that I'd like to be able to export just to use to create a pose with a figure holding them accurately (after which I'd export from Poser to Bryce & do the rendering there).

Allen9, you might try exporting them as an obj file from Bryce. Select the object, then click the "E" button to get to the screen where you smooth meshes. From there hit Ctrl+D, and you should get a save-as menu to let you export the object in a variety of formats. Why that trick isn't documented in the Bryce manual is beyond me, as I have found it really, really useful.
