The Bryster has a very good point there. I mean I use Daz Studio since is Free. It works great for many things. I mean why pay soo much money for Poser when all U want is just a few Soldiers or Marines or anything like that, basic stuff to add to your Bryce Scenery. Its simple in DAZ Studio, and so much easier now in 5.5 since its just a darn button. Before soo many problems like Trans Maps, had to save, spending extra HD Space, etc etc. Now honestly besides DAZ Studio and a little faster rendering times, Its not much improvement. But think the next time they release 6.0, U wont have to pay full price, they will have an Upgrade for a whole lot less. Now U can get Bryce 5.5 if U a 5.0 user for like $30 or something like that, cant beat that. I just did test renders in both Bryce 5.0 and 5.5 on 2 different systems. Posted them on the Omac's website. (http://www.alexpensotti.com/brycebench.html). THis is kewl website that will show how systems do. If U have both versions, so a test render and send em to him, we can collect a whole lot of data this way.
