OMG! listen to yourself people.almost everything you list as new features you want,are already in a program called Cinema 4D,heck even the free C4D ce is close to what everybody is asking for.Yikes!Bryce is great and all,and I look forward to seeing a new version,but it was never intended as a uber modeling program.Just a cool terrain making app with a cool sky lab and such.BTW,if you do use the free cinema4d you can import your bryce terrains as well.
