My understanding is that Scott's trying to put together a detailed business plan including viability studies and future product options that he can then use to leverage vector to sell the product to another developer and also to try and tie in that other developer. A lot of work to do and he has my support for one, we need someone with this sort of drive to keep Bryce available. There's quite a few suggestions etc gone into Scott's forum at the link, it's worth any Bryce fan participating. For me, I'd love to see better modelling (including a collapse to mesh for the 'skin' of a set of metaballs), better import/export, plug ins, a faster render engine (:-)) and support for the linux platform.
