Big News! As you may already know, DAZ is now the proud owner of Bryce, the award-winning 3D landscaping and animation package, formerly owned by Corel! We are very excited to bring Bryce into the DAZ family of quality products. DAZ has extensive development plans for Bryce, including launching new versions for both Macintosh and Windows platforms. DAZ also has plans to develop a pathway to bring existing DAZ 3D content into Bryce seamlessly. Further integration with DAZ|Studio is also scheduled for development.

Working closely with online community members and key Bryce content developers, DAZ will ensure a smooth transition and continued development of the application. In addition, DAZ will assume responsibility for all Bryce customer service, providing full-time technical and sales support, as well as providing an online discussion and technical support forums. For more information, please visit http://bryce.daz3d.com.

Congratulations! May Bryce prove a good investment to all involved.

I'm so happy! I love Bryce! (Have used it since it was Bryce 2.)

I hope youre not planning on merging DAZstudio and Bryce together into one program, are you?

Hallelujah! Smooth move Daz!

Try not to forget about the faithful Brycers working with MACs

You need a tool to support DAZ Studio and you think you found one. Don't destroy Bryce's uniqueness.

I wonder if Bryce models will be importable into DAZstudio?

Do a little dance, make a little art,have fun tonight. Happier than the proverbial pig. Yay DAZ. No where is that wish list!!!!!!

Woohoo!! Thanks for making the jump! May it be profitable and satisfying for you. Please don't take away the product the current users love so much and make it into something that's Poser- or DAZ Studio-specific. There are many of us that don't use it with your other products and don't necessarily want to. Thanks, again.

hurray!! Congratulations, DAZ! Congratulations, fellow Brycers! This is great news, and I think the best that could have happened to Bryce. I must admit that I didn't have much hope that Corel Would let Bryce go, looking back on their track records - killing good software! Now, I can't wait to see what comes out for Bryce 6! :) Hopefully we'll see some form of merger with DAZ studio. I think that would be excellent!

Very good news. I hope DAZ3D will work with the good Betatesterteam from Bryce 5 and the elected ones from the Bryce 6 prebeta. I remember a good work we've done together. It was a great time. I hope DAZ3D also has the complete diskussion of new features we had that time. There are extreme cool ideas. Greetings Thomas ...where is the champagner bottle?

Don't be happy to early. Bryce 6 can be turned into a DAZ-Studio2. Don't forget what DAZ main goal is - sell Poser models. J.

I'm glad that Bryce has a promising future. Best wishes for all those involved :)

"Don't forget what DAZ main goal is - sell Poser models." Actually, it's more likely that the acquisition of Bryce is related to a process of excluding the need for Poser at all. You should be thinking in terms of DAZ content. Poser is a competing product for DAZ.

well I happy that Bryce will be developed, I give all my trust to DAZ, I hope they'll do a great work! Bryce is unique and has to remain so... *** do some of you guys still remember the terrible joke Brycetech did 2 1-april ago? my ass is still crying.... LOL *** LONG LIVE BRYCE! LONG LIVE THE BRYCE FORUM!

If you want certain thing about Bryce to stay as is or if you want DAZ to know what you'd like to see in their new Bryce, they have a forum entitled Bryce wish list where you can tell them what you want for Bryce. I've already read all the forums over there concerning this and I'm quite delighted about DAZ getting hold of Bryce and have told them of some of the things I'd like to see in Bryce 6. This is an important investment for them and they want to know what we want as the reason they went after Bryce was because of the poll they had on what other app most folks used and guess which app was No 1, that's right Bryce. I don't think they want to hurt our baby, I mean that would loose them a lot of potential customers so I'm going on the optimistic side and have a good feeling for Bryce's future. 8D Catlin

Oh I forgot to say BryceTech is a mod at the DAZ Bryce Talk forum. I think he is happy that Bryce will now move into the 21st century. 8) Catlin

DAZ you won't regret it! You got customers here already. Yipeeee!!!

Bravo! Excellent news. Those of us who were facing the possible end of Bryce with dread thank DAZ profoundly.

"Don't forget what DAZ main goal is - sell Poser models." -- over the last several months, DAZ has already been offering a lot more models of buildings, vehicles, etc. that you might tend to use more with a program like Bryce than with Poser. I hope they will continue that trend. I hope the DAZ/Bryce marriage is a happy one, 'cause Poser and Bryce are the only two graphics programs I regularly use.

Praise the Divine Providence! Praise DAZ! Praise! Praise! I look forward to Bryce 6! Good riddance to Corel! Rob

I am just happy as a lark about this move. 8)

YES!!! How long has it been without an update to Bryce or better yet a new version. I had almost moved on to another program!!! I love Bryce I hope that any changes are for the better!!! Speed that engine up, enhance some rendering features make it more compatible with import models, and add modeling features and I am ready to by another version!

;) I rushed over to DAZ and downloaded the last DAZstudio upgrade (I hadn't checked for a while) and lo and behold there is a bryce - export feature there... My first export is rendering in Bryce as we speak.... yay! Oh... and I think that we all will benefit from a mixture of DAZ studio and Bryce.... I just hope that they'll keep the Bryce interface. I like that a LOT better than DAZ studio. (talk about Poser competition! lol Now; for your techies out there. If this mail goes through, it's a first. I am posting on a puter outside our LAN... we have a new HW firewall; and I'm experiencing some weird problems. Posting here is one... it just sits there and never goes through. And then it finally times out. The same is happening on Yahoo lists and other message boards. Any ideas???

Hi britt! Just to let you know your posts still arent going through... just kidding. So the daz studio exports it to a bryce file? Cool! As far as your network problem goes, you may want to check and see if your netbios name port is blocked. I've seen that create problems before.

Two thumbs up and a "Heyyy!!!" - TJ

Well, it's been a LONG haul on all our patience and nerves wondering, theorizing, and hoping for the one day continuation of our Bryce! DAZ has given all Bryce users and lovers that hope back that we will see the ongoing progression of our underdog program. Already they have given us "Turbo Import", already striking a serious blow to one of the weaker links in Bryce's program. I cannot wait to see the future. ;o) THANK YOU DAZ!!! AgentSmith Bryce Mod

All in all good news I hope, please keep Bryce's character though, as many others here, I've been a user since version 2..... Please take a good look through the discussions over at bryce for mac, there's been a lot of talk there about what Bryce users would like to see.....

Thank you, Muddy. I'll look into that, and report back to mothership! l

You mean to tell me that when I send Dirty Harry to Daz and he told them to go ahead and make my day (not his day) they listened?!?!?!?! I was hoping against all hope that this program would go on and evolve. Someone let me know where to post to a wish list. The first one will be an improvement in the tree lab (gotta wait in line for that one, right...? :) I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!

Daz has a a new Bryce area in their forums, it's worth signing up just to speak your mind. From what I hear they really do want to know what you want. Yet, as of right now, I can't get their forum pages to come up. ;o( Hopefully, just maintainence. Either that or someone told them I was coming with my own list.... AgentSmith

Thank you DAZ!!! Can't wait to get my hands on the plug-in.

I'm happy and all, but I see DAZ turning this into a wallet-emptying-buy-several-things-for-it-to-work program - just like Victoria 3, Michael 3, David... I have a bad feeling about this, but am very curious as to what DAZ has in store for Bryce 6.

I would assume that when the next drop of bryce appears it'll have pz3 import to save using Daz Studio, it's not like studio is a saleable product.

..testing...testing... 1-2-3

yeah...your mic is on.

Happy happy joy joy (dance dance, hop skip jump)!! Ricky (who has no time to Bryce right now, but is celebrating all the same)

test

Lol...the 7th time is the charm. AS

This is not going to be good for Bryce...

Good or bad, there will be a Bryce 6. So, at least that part is good. ;o) AS

It is too early in the day to say whether what DAZ will do with Bryce will be good or bad, but I think the right thing to do is wait and put forward our suggestions for what we'd like to see, otherwise we could end up with a Bryce we don't recognise. I do believe that DAZ will listen to what the users have to say because we know the program better than they do and know what all the bugs are and I do not believe they want to loose us as customers. 8) Catlin

As it looks right now, theyve already lost one! That forum has already been taken over by the Poser community. But best of luck with getting your voices heard though.

Dang, Rudy, lol. I don't know, I haven't went through that whole Bryce area they have in the forums. I basically only looked through the Bryce Wishlist, which is almost all directly Bryce related. Especially the two large-ish posts I made. :o) AS

I've seen the posts you are talking about Rochr and I think their problem is that they don't know you or your work, which is a shame 'cos if they did they might have a little more respect for what you have to say. The reason there are so many Poser users there is because it has been, till now, a Poser site, but wasn't R'osity like that at one time too? So I think time will tell and we cannot afford to loose input from folk like yourself Rochr, your input on what DAZ should do with Bryce is most valuable. Since the big boys from DAZ have been writing to you why don't you deal with them directly, tell them what you want for Bryce and what you will not tolerate, if you did that they may just have to listen, they obviously respect you otherwise they wouldn't be contacting you directly. Anyway I hope you don't give up on Bryce 6,7......etc, 'cos our Bryce world would be a much darker place without your knowledge. 8) Catlin

Ditto, dude. AS
