Aye, but like we talked about in another thread, Mizrael, it'll never happen. Not without a complete re-writing of Bryce's boolean coding. See, Bryce doesn't actually "boolean" anything. It merely sets up boolean filters inside it's "hide" system, and dosn't actually cut or intersect anything. How is another program to know what is what? No exportable format includes extra coding for such things, not .obj, not .3DS, none of them. Also, since Bryce has almost ZERO actual modeling features, look at it's boolean methods as an "Intro to the concepts behind 3D modeling", and that's about as far as it goes. Even the free modelers have a million more features than Bryce, that's why they are modelers! Bryce can already export the only thing it does particularly well, which is heightmapping.
