"what i am not holding my breath about is additional features being added to bryce 6.0, or there being a bryce 7.0 that constitutes a major development."

Yeah, as far as Bryce 7, the ball is really in DAZ's court now. They had voiced planning a Bryce 7, and I am actually leaning towards them continuing with Bryce and leaving Carrara "Basics" where it is. ("Basics" does have some cool stuff Bryce 6 could use, imo) Time will tell.

"How much of a userbase is there for bryce these days? "

Well, lets just look at the numbers only at Renderosity; as far as the amount of forum posts, & gallery uploads, Bryce is #2. (Poser is #1). as far as 3D users go, no one else is close. And, at 3DC Bryce rules.

*Not saying that Bryce beats other programs out everywhere else, it doesn't, lol. But I'm just showing there is still a strong user base, (that has grown even larger ever since DAZ saved it).
