**I still believe without some of these guys [**core Bryce programmers ] involved the future development of Bryce (other then a ground up rewrite) is rather bleak. Nobody knows the Bryce code like these guys do - most of the guys had worked on Bryce since Bryce 2 PC.

-I fully agree. DAZ has always been keen on talking to Ken Musgrave and Kai Krause, (and also with interest in getting other past Brycers involved). So, who know?...maybe they will seek out some of those past programmers. That would be cool.

My recollection is that Corel wanted way too much money for Bryce, well beyond what Pandromeda was willing to pay.

-Yup, from my seat, and what I saw, that was basically it. From reading between the lines, I believe Ken M. would have also paid them up front one price, and then offer them more down the line as a new Bryce would have been sold to the users, but...no go, Corel wouldn't sell.

-You can tell Ken is honestly dissapointed when he talks of not being able to get Bryce from Corel. I remember (from Siggraph) him saying something like "getting his baby back home".

-And again, lol...who knows? DAZ and Eovia used to share a booth at Siggraph. Now DAZ owns Eovia. DAZ will not own MojoWorld (imo), but...some program interaction between the two would be a good thing!
