reiss-studios already has a Poser-Maya plug-in available. I'd assume that it's for P4, and he's making one for P5. I think the announcement is just to push sales his way. (I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing.) This also gives CL the appearance of being active in developing more stuff for Poser. (Hey, look at the plug-ins available!) I don't know anything about the Pixels3D software. The plug-in is probably being made by the Pixels3D company. The announcement may be seen as a way to tempt MAC users to get P5 since the PC version has not exactly been well received in many quarters. There had been rumors of a Vue4/P5 plug-in, but I haven't heard anything in a while. Then again, I haven't hung around the Vue forum in a while. (Too many apps, too many forums, too little time.) As for Bryce, Corel seems to have dropped it into a black hole, so who knows if there's anything in the works. I think this is a case of CL announcing the plug-ins that it has found that are being made by outside programmers, rather than CL deliberately abandoning some software. I suspect that CL isn't making (and may not have the resources to make) plug-ins at all so they're just announcing any that they are aware of. Cheers!
