So why don't you let us know how you really feel ? Hee, hee, hee, hee. At least Bryce 6(if it happens) won't be a machine killer. I have used Vue 5I and while it produces superior results,........I can use C4D with Advanced Render capabilities with all bells and whistles enabled and it still renders faster than V5I ! And it doesn't bring the machine to it's knees(CPU temp rarely gets above 85 degrees.) whereas V5I just makes the machine shudder(and this is a dual Xeon box with 4Gb's of Ram). As to the Bondware issue,........Bondware, Schmondware, I don't give a rats butt, nor a hoot nor holler(a southern USA colloqialism), I just like lookin at the purtty pictures(preferably naked Vickies, I want her to have my children).
