frankly, I kinda like the interface... he says his intent is present this new Bryce to Eovia. This interface has much in common with Carrara (just upgraded to Carrara 3, myself, and I gotta say that I haven't had this much fun with a program since I first got Bryce) with a lot of old Bryce thrown in as well... I think I'd put the palettes up top on tabs like they currently are in Bryce, to free up a little more room, and stretch the drawing window as much as possible... looks much like my C3 UI does right now, and I find it quite usable at 1280 x 1024 on my 15" monitor... not that I don't long for a larger monitor and higher resolution.... but it works just fine for me.
