I am delighted that Scott has picked up the torch and is trying to carry it forward. If you visit his site and do some checking, you will see that proposed new features include a spline-modeler, and the ability to sculpt a terrain or lattice horizontally as well as the usual vertical. I could get use to the new, more glitzy interface, especially if you could resize the work area. If folks could drag toolbars where they wanted, close tool-sets not currently in use and set their own color-schemes I think that some objections to the new interface design would be a moot point. I would jump to buy Bryce 6 tomorrow with just the proposed changes.
