Hi! guys.............
I have bryce 5 and i have little problem !!!!!
I open a 3d object in Bryce ( it's a castle ) and it's about 40 items to give texture applications........
I just open the same castle in Poser and it's give me just 2 items that i can applicate textures.
I use the grouping tool in Poser but notthing change....
Is there a way to get these items to applicate textures in Poser ??????
Thank's to all.

A program called Grouper will open your .obj and resave it to what you want. The resaved .obj will be grouped by texture. If you only use two textures, then likely there will only be two mesh's in Bryce to work with.

HI again Thedouf . Ok - Load the 3DS, make sure it's selected and hit the little "E" icon. The Edit Mesh dialog comes up and type Control-D. This brings up a File Selector and at the bottom popup select the .OBJ option and name it with an .OBJ extension. Hit OK and Bryce should save out the object as individual parts.

Now in Poser 4 Load the .OBJ with the Poser Default Import options. Hit the Group Tool and in the Group Edit dialog hit Spawn Props. Close the window and click the down arrow under the main window and under Props select the original import and hit the delete key.
