You all wanted to know what is happening at corel and what the future of Bryce may be. Well I sent Conan Hunter two emails, the second one telling him of this thread. I sent the second one this morning and here is his reply:- "Warning, be prepared for a shock" Hi Catlin-- Sigh What can I say? I'm not doing Bryce anymore; I'm in Corel's New Ventures group developing new technologies that have nothing to do with 3D... I've even lost my Renderosity login, it's been so long. In fact, nobody is now in charge of Bryce, or working on it. It's on "hold" as far as any work being done on the product. I don't think it's much of an executive topic, either. There's not much more I can tell you from Corel's standpoint; I'm sorry. For myself, I could speak bravely about the state of the technology economy and Corel getting its house in order, and I could go on about the eternal conundrum of Bryce not fitting into a nice tidy demographic for marketing's requirements, and I could even talk about the challenge of splitting Bryce into a professional art package and a kid's version (which was my long-term goal), but, you know, all I can really say is: I miss Bryce, I miss the technology, I miss the art, I miss the community, and I miss all the insanely cool people I got to work with while I was in Bryce's driver seat, and there's nothing I can do about the state of affairs right now but vent a little here and there and deal with all the incoming calls and emails like this I have endured for almost a year with a heavy sigh. No, I don't look into the forums any more, I stay away from the sites; it's kinda painful for me; even if Corel were to begin work on a new version of Bryce, it would in all likelihood be without me, since I am now fully committed to other projects. --Conan, signing off
