Stepchild? Rofl, very doubtful, imho. Studio and Bryce will be VERY complimentary to one another, after meeting with DAZ, I can see that is very much a goal. But, they will remain two seperate programs, and come on...Bryce will always be Bryce, SO much is possible with it, its just impossible for it to be anyone's stepchild. ;o) (I'm sure most Brycers would agree) I had talked with DAZ about more Bryce specific products, that I would like to see more of them, and I'm sure they would too. (Products that really have nothing to do with figures.) It's just going to take more time. And, again...it's no secret DAZ sells figures, always has, and Bryce has been used forever as better rendering option for users who like to create figure based artworks...so, the presence of figure/Bryce combo's packages are here to stay. Like I said, no matter what company bought Bryce, they would be combining it with what they already sold. Yet also, as you have seen, DAZ hears us, and replies. They actually communicate with the Bryce users, so give'em the benefit of the doubt, I say. We still have a while until B5.5 is available, plenty of time for you all to tell DAZ what's on your mind. ;o) And, it's truly not a front, they do want to hear from users. AgentSmith
