Some of us are making it sound like we would be required to use Daz models in the renders or that a new improved Bryce would somehow only work if there was a Daz Studio figure in it. Why would anyone change Bryce so we couldn't do the things we can already do now? Why would Bryce itself not be improved? (Faster renders etc. Things we've been dreaming about for years. Well, now the dreams could be more than just dreams. That's better than anything Corel offered us.) Why would Daz buy Bryce just to turn around and do something that would alienate the core Bryce user base they are trying to capture? There's no way for them to succeed in this without us. Think about it. The bottom line of business is business. They need us. I think some of us may be jumping to some very extreme conclusions. I will reserve my judgement until I have seen concrete plans of development. I am encouraged by the change. Having my favorite program in what seemed like permanent stasis was not a situation that was encouraging. Adapt or die. And none of this alters the fact that I have Bryce 5 to use for the forseeable future. John
