I thought everyone wanted Bryce to grow and hopefully gain respect in the 3d community? If this new change turns out the way I am thinking its going to happen, then it will kill Bryce's chance to ever seperate itself from poser (which like rudy said, CG pros confuse the two softwares all the time). It has been said time and time again in this thread, but it must be repeated...just because Bryce is moving, doesnt mean its for the better! listen to Rudy, he knows what he is talking about. If Bryce permanently associates itself with poser (which Daz is obviously associated with even though their aren't connected with Curious Labs) then it will be a sad day for Bryce. and PJF had even a better point. Why are they going to release a new version with very few improvements??? whats the point of that? If they are really interesting in keeping Bryce's greastest features and improving its biggest faults then it needs to spend lots of time getting feedback and rebuilding the Bryce code from the ground up. Otherwise, I feel this change will only set Bryce back.
