I've always thought that Bryce could really work well with coreldraw's seamless texture editor. The bryce render engine seems to be working in some kind of dos shell without the benefit of the last two years developments in active X to speed render times. Does Bryce have a future? It all depends on if Corel can and will upgrade or revamp the rendering engine. Bryce and KPT were the products Corel picked up when Metacreations divested. I think that speaks for their comittment to develop the product. Corel also has a history of not releasing betas or "New Versions" just because X-months have past since the last. Until Corel announces they are not supporting the product I believe they are intending to come out with future versions of Bryce.
