I understand that Bryce Has a loyal devoted following iwas a die hard brycer and still use bryce 5 on MAC OSX and no offense to spit ,really but you appear to be speaking from the perpesctive of someone who has likely NEVER used a modern day program with a real user definable muliticamera system or comprehensive object/scene manager for handling complex scenes. or true key frame animation timeline or adaptive ray tracer that wont take weeks to render scenes because you chose to have volumetric lights But this is not a bryce VS everybody else discussion :-) the thread starter asked :why no poser plugin for bryce?? and that answer is simple: Future market potention for NEW customers and that means cutting edge software that is relevant to the rapid advances in rendering hardware. APPLE is about to take us into an exciting new world of 64 bit desktop computing followed soon im sure by intel or AMD. what incentive is there from a business perpective for any company to spend a dime hiring programmers to join two Old programs that wont be in a position to utilize the new hardwre comming down the pike. and dont kid yourself the poser and bryce community is relativly small worldwide compared to MAX or Lightwave. and if some individual chooses to hack that old legacy code from the early 1990's to sell a new feature to the pose/brycer base then good for them. but its just not good long term business sense for CL to revisit that old strategy in my opinion
