OK I'll rephrase - Bryce isn't a dying program. The purchace of the dead Bryce by DAZ is a clear admission that DAZ Studio will never get close to producing acceptable renders. So we have an hilarious situation of the dead (Bryce) trying to save the almost dead (D/S). DAZ produce some excellent figures so the sooner it focuses on what it does best, instead of playing silly school yard games with Curious Labs, the better. (Coldrake - Would that be the gallery at DAZ!? You know, the place where you regularly post in the DAZ forums. Nice ethnic lady image but the fat man portrait and man with top hat images display terrible colour banding on the backgrounds. A touch of monochrome noise is sometimes useful for blending in unwanted colour banding.)
