Hi folks,does anyone know if exists 3D Max Plug-in for import to Bryce??Thanks

Nope, Bryce is hugely proprietary and we're lucky just to be able to use Photoshop plugs within Bryce.

But you can export a mesh or so from within a .Max scene file as .3ds or similar and Bryce should handle that just fine.

From memory, since I don't have Bryce here: Terrain editor -> Picture tab -> click on the triangle in the upper right corner, Define plug-in directory, choose the Photoshop plug-in dir. BUT: you can use just third-party plug-ins, not the ones that come with Photoshop. IE, you can use KPT, EyeCandy, Andromeda etc. A great help with stuff like waves and terrains.

Some of the Photoshop plug-ins ( filters ) will work in Bryce...but some Photoshop filters will make Bryce crash, you just need to figure out which are good and which are bad news. Here's where they can be used ( picture editor and terrain editor )

If you want to render a Max scene in Bryce, you'll have to export the scene as models. As far as I know you can't import a Max scene file to Bryce. Bryce will not support Camera or light objects from other programs, or materials.
