Hi guys.. sorry for not posting back sooner.. I didnt get an email to tell me about the replies strangely. Answers to the questions that are new. No, I am NOT a programmer. I am a web coder, but thats just other stuff. I am merely developing the designs and features... wishlist.. yes. But I have the skills to completely develop the interface and graphics, that's as far as my skillset goes. Yes, I understand Bryce was meant to just be a lendscape program.. however.. something called evolution effects everything, and as you can no doubt tell.. people use bryce more for full 3d scenery than they do for just terrains. Lets face it.. we want bryce to be a full on 3D application, that retains the simple style and easy of use of Bryce. Many of the new features still centre around lendscape and environment creation also. I understand the costs involved in implementing such features, although I think that someone is getting paid a little TOO much for their coding skills if it does cost that much. Just for your interests.. I have also contacted the Bryce team at Corel directly and am awaiting a reply. Even more interesting, is that Bryce was and perhaps still available to buy.. but not for over a milllion... more like $250,000 to $300,000 USD. So, my friends, if no one wants to play, I will gather up some investors... heck... if every person on the petition to save Bryce all put in $300each... we could buy it and have Bryce as an open source program!!! But my project still stands.. and I will be showing some new screen shots very soon. I'll be showing a demo of the materials presets window. I'll let you all know how I go with Corel, however note that it might take a few days to hear back from them. Scott
