I've had this thought for a while but haven't expressed it. But this thread seems to be the proper place to do so. I wonder if DAZ would (or did) consider putting Bryce 6 in a DAZ Studio type beta mode? Here's what I mean. Start rewriting the code to a more modern computer language, in incremental states, and making it avaiable to Bryce 5.5 owners, like DAZ Studio was (is). Let us keep our 5.5, but, also let us run the new code and help debug it. Let us compare render times and quality and provide feedback. I think there is a lot of talent here and being able to use that talent would be invaluable to a small company that has a product with a great following. Of course, those who depend on Bryce for commercial purposes could continue to use 5.5.
