Heh, I wasn't going to rub that in.

DAZ didn't need to have cash lying around for the acquisition (not saying they didn't have it, not saying they did - don't know), they only needed to be able to raise it. Compared to lots of companies in the CGI game they have regular, good cash flow. That can convince a lender more easily than an optimistic business projection alone.

Despite the jokey nature of my tin-foil-hat thread, I really do see Bryce's future as shakey. They will certainly release a Bryce6 (AgentSmith and some others here have probably seen it ) in order to get some return on the investment, but after that all bets are off. There is already a Carrara 'lite' at about the same price point as Bryce. There's no reason to think that DAZ won't base their software future around Carrara.

With AgentSmith's predictive record on this I'm willing to put money down... ;-)
