I can completely understand why DAZ isn't interested in making Poser 5 stuff compatible; I imagine that the only reason why they're still making stuff that does work completely well with Poser is because D|S isn't complete yet. What I don't understand is how having Bryce will benefit users of the finished D|S. Just a couple thoughts... - You can already pose figures in Studio. Having a plug-in for Bryce that lets you do this seems redundant. - Studio offers the more advanced material menus, displacement mapping, reflections, lighting, and all that. No reason to render figures in Bryce just for those things now. - Bryce is not a serious modeling program like Rhino or Lightwave, so I doubt you'll be able to make morphs, figures, or detailed props in it. Maybe I'm missing something, but the only advantage I can see offhand is that DAZ can now sell Bryce props...and what, landscape files and materials? If they had bought Rhino and said that you'll be able to import native .DAZ files into it and use it's modeling tools to easily make morphs and new figures, I could see that being big news. Hopefully someone else will be able to tell us why this apparently is. :) SnowS
