"I thought I had taken care of that problem:"

It's just the same foolish route as DAZ has taken, not being able ro import native Poser scenes onto Bryce 5. Read carefully what people want, most of the Bryce users want native Poser scenes support in Bryce 5, just as Vue 4 has.

I've asked DAZ about that too in their forums and from their reply ( http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=6190 ) it's clear their not going to do it. I do really find that a blow in the face of Poser/Bryce users who have been dreaming a long time for direct support from Poser files in Bryce. Now they are being forced to use something like DAZ studio to make their dreams come true. Well I did wake up from that dream realizing it will always be a dream, there will be no native Poser support in Bryce.

I've decided to stop using Bryce and D/S after the comments DAZ made.

A. "Curious Labs has the information they need to add the new information to the MTL file, so you'd have to look to them for that." DAZ is blaming Curious Labs for not being able to create native poser scene support in Bryce. Clever move, but when one thinks about it, it's absurd. DAZ is trying to create Poser suppurt not Curious Labs. DAZ should get their act together on this matter, not someone else.

B. "Most Poser stuff imports into DS with no problem." It seems like DAZ is using a version of D/S that is far ahead of v0.9.6.0.

C. I dislike companies that force me to use all of their applications to get something done in only one application. DAZ could have easily done without D/S to get Poser content into Bryce. They've choosen not too, but decided to force Poser/Bryce users to use D/S. I don't like that, especially if their's really no need for it.

I love Bryce, I love DAZ products, but DAZ has lost my support. No more Bryce, no more D/S beta testing, no more money to DAZ products. A company that deals in such a way when taking over an application is not worthy of my support at all. Yes, I'm slightly ticked off with DAZ for forcing all this junk on me as a Bryce users.

Also seeing the mess DAZ is creating in developing D/S, I'm fearing for Bryce's future, will Bryce become a mess too?

Farewell Bryce, hello Vue. Now that I've got Vue 4, I wonder why I dodn't get it much earlier, it far ahead of Bryce and importing Poser 4/5 native scenes works great! With Vue 5 coming up very soon, I'm afraid Bryce 5 will only be a mere toy. So if anyone is interested in Bryce 5 PM me, perhaps we can arrange someting. I'm through with it. That's not Bryce's fault, but DAZ has to be blamed.

So, here are my final comment on D/S after getting the latest beta version (0.9.6.0). It's a lot faster the previous one, but still slow (even on a Maybe on a 2.4 ghz + processor with winxp.) Things like hair, conforming clothes (even DAZ original products) and others are still one big mess. D/S hates foreign figures (like Sixus1 Behemoth for example). It takes ages to render them, while Poser does it in a blink of an eye. Guess DAZ dislikes everything that's not created by them......

I'm sure one day D/S will become a real application and Bryce may catch up with Vue d'Esprit, but as a company DAZ has lost my loyalty, I've switched allegiance.....
