Yes, well, it was just something I had heard. They're both pretty expensive applications. As for Metaballs, I was surprised to find them in Truespace. And now I find that they are in Maya (I'm not surprised there). It would seem that Corel can't do anything original at all; wouldn't it be nice if they added something to Bryce that was new and exciting, something that nothing else has and that is completely unique to Bryce? It started out as a landscape program, but it is so much more than that now...
