Yes, it can be done.  I use Bryce4 for my rendering work.  What I have found
is that the DXF converter works by grouping colored parts together.  The
transparent pieces need to be of a different color so the converter will
single out those particular pieces.

I provided a link to my Lego gallery so you can see some of the things I
have done using Bryce and a DXF converter.

Is it possible to get an image from Ldraw to Bryce3d?  I tried 3dwin, but
it's dat export ignores colors, so the image is gray.  I also tried the DXF
export, but it was unable to export transparencies and would not let me
change the materials on individual Lego pieces (although it is the closest I
have come.)  Bryce3d cannot use the LWS converter, and I tried a demo of
Bryce 4, which shows an error when trying to import it.  I thought of
converting POV files, but I couldn't find any converters that worked.  Does
anyone have any suggestions??  Thanks,
