Yewston, Thanks for your correction. It's a good thing I said "I could be wrong...". Oh well, it isn't the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last... grin. I think I was led astray when DAZ said that they are willing to give Curious Labs the necessary information so that Poser could be updated to support export to Bryce. I took this to imply that CL could create their own Bryce exporter and this in turn implied that DAZ|Studio now had its own Bryce exporter. It did not occur to me that these exports were only possible via a new Bryce importer. Like bikermouse, it didn't seem likely to me that DAZ could write a new Bryce plugin so quickly if they just received the Bryce code. This assumption seemed reasonable as over the years I have heard, from several people who should know, that the Bryce code is a particularly messy and obtuse piece of work. Whatever, this is certainly good news for Poser fans. And, despite the moans and groan from a few, I suspect it is very good news for Bryce fans also- at least this one. I was disheartened when Corel obtained Bryce and never upgraded to ver 5 as I refused to send a single penny their way. I'm quite happy with version 4 and not even certain that I need 5. But now I'll cheerfully upgrade if only to support Bryce's future with DAZ. - Jack
