Bryce has had a plug-in architecture since 3.0 - but nobody ever wrote anything new for it until DAZ did with the turbo importer. Internally Meta used it a lot. Look at all the things in Bryce5/plugins - right now they are used for bringing in models and exporting out various immage formats. I am always around and lurking - but I needed to chime in on this one. I am with AS - maybe it will make others use the open door thats been there a long time. And yeah Maxwell is high-end - they would need to somehow price it around the current price of the entire Bryce 5 app. Who knows they might just for volume sales. There are really a lot of Bryce users out there. Scott
