Hold it. I never said I didn't like DAZ studio, nor did I say that I didn't like Bryce5.5 I just don't like the pricing for the upgrade, that's all. They don't provide a very large number of improvements, and they are asking very nearly the entire retail price. Admittedly this is not much, but honestly, they seem to be giving even less. My point is that it's not worth it to buy Bryce5.5 when all of the improvements will (presumably) be in Bryce6, and Bryce6 will have still MORE improvements. Funny thing, I've never had any trouble importing figures from Poser. Both Bryce4 and 5 have automatically imported the models correctly and applied the textures properly, only thing I had to do was point it to the cleverly hidden default textures. The only thing I can't do is import dynamic hair, and I personally dislike Poser5's dynamic hair, finding it much much easier to just draw my own (and then I can use Bryce's better renderer!). And you can get DAZ|Studio for free right now, which lets you import dynamic hair anyway. So essentially you are paying $79 for lots of new models and mats. After DAZ's promotion you won't even get those, as I understand it. Peace shinyary
