Well- what Bryce needs to be a "killer revision" is greater render speed, some type of eco-systems, support for rendering modes like GI, GR and IBL- basically what Vue 5 has. What I think DAZ should do with Bryce is greatly enhance its relationship with the architectural and GIS markets. I have tried to interest E-on in GIS, and get them to support architectual renderers like Piranesi- but it has been a real uphill struggle. It doesn't seem like these will make it into Vue 6. I sometimes worry that because E-on is such a Paris, France-centric company that they don't really FEEL the trends and winds of change that you get from US based software companies. Companies like @Last (Sketch-Up) etc. seem to move with great energy, excitement, PR, etc. as they listen to their user base... xFusion might well be a real WINNER for E-on- but while they will be struggling to work out all the BUGS for MAX, LW and MAYA users (that's a LOT of stuff to CHEW ON) they could see their LOWER-END market get taken away from them! Sharing of Proceedural mats between Bryce and Carrara- as well as Boolean models, etc- basically DOING what the ORIGINAL MetaCreations goal was - INTEGRATING Poser, Bryce and RayDream (now Carrara)-- might actually now happen with DAZ in control of Bryce. Basically- DAZ could follow through on the original MetaCreations concept, but with DAZ Studio- Bryce- and Carrara! Yes- that would be a real winner for both DAZ and Eovia.. If Planetside were to throw their cards in with DAZ and they would support each other with file formats, plug-ins, etc.- perhaps even Terragen 2 as a BRYCE Plug-in? Hey- why NOT! DAZ is primarily interested in selling MODELS- if Bryce had Terragen 2 capabilities- DAZ wouldn't have to develope all kinds of new cutting edge features for Bryce! I also suspect Terragen 2 will move in on the same Plug-in areas that E-on has covered- atmospheres for MAX, LW, Maya, etc. LOTS of things could happen, heh!
