Well I'm all about progress...!! I think the interface looks kinda silly, reminds me of TrueSpace a bit, but it's all about functionality. And I don't care how it looks if it improves functionality... A couple of points : 1. Are these just screenshots made in Photoshop or what, Pendulum? I don't understand, are you actually programming this all in there, or just laying out a visual wish list? Have you calculated all the programming and math involved for these features? Not to be TOO doubtful, but I've never heard of you and have no idea who you are. If you can program THAT good, why not just ditch Bryce altogether and create something NEW and more powerful? Vue, although I refuse to use it for political reasons, was built exactly on that premise. If you can out-program the Bryce creators, then why are you trying to latch on to their legacy? 2. Wishlists have been made before. If what you are really seeking is a program to do your art for you, then you're not making art anymore. There is no way any version of Bryce will outmodel a regular modeling program, otherwise we'd be seeing all kinds of copyright infringements. Hell, we are lucky we even GOT metaballs, Play could have smoked the whole idea back when Amorphium 1 was still out. Also, will people who still have 800x600 monitors get smoked on this one, too? Don't get me wrong, I want to see an advanced version just as much as the next Brycer. But given technology, the R&D alone for some of your features would cost millions. And like others have said, trying to make Bryce into a high-end app is not it's purpose. If you want C4D's functions, get Cinema 4D. One thing to keep in mind, everyone : Bryce is a canyon. It is a real place on a real Earth. It is a PIECE of the Earth. This program was never meant to be an end-all. It was made to model and render canyons, and landscapes, and although we all love flexing it to do new things, if you take away it's roots, you have something that is NOT Bryce. It is a different application entirely. If Bryce Canyon itself could sue someone over all this, I guarantee that it would.
