The problem is Bryce modeled objects can't be used in any other program. If I do an object in Rhino the bolean union/difference/intersections are permanent. If I make this in obj format I can sell to the poser, bryce, 3ds, lightwave...etc. communities. Why limit my customers to 1/10th of the community when it takes the same effort to produce a finished object in each app. Incidently, Bryce and Poser were both owned by Metacreations and there were plans to integrate Poser animations into Bryce. Poser was spun off into Curious Labs and Bryce was sold to Corel for cash to bail out the company. I doubt very much that management at Curious Labs and Bryce/Corel would integrate well after splitting so recently.
