We've had these discussions here before and there's still one thing that people forget: if DAZ implements the things on the wishlist, Bryce would have to cost about the same as Vue Infinite. I mean, where do you have particle systems, vegetation generators, HDRI/IBL, GI, modelling and so on, for $150? I don't know about such a program. Yeah, there's Blender, but if they haven't improved their workflow, they are harder to use than 3ds max.
