That's it? That's all that has been done in Bryce 6? I've still got Bryce 5 and use it at times, but I'm glad I didn't put my hopes on B6. One thing I know for sure now, DAZ is taking ages to improve hardly anything. I'm glad I've swithced to Carrara, much better bet, since there's a complete non-DAZ developing team behind it. but I'm slightly worried about Carrara's future now it's owned by DAZ.

Another popular item was the improvements to the link between Bryce and DAZ|Studio. Now, any animation you can create or import into DAZ|Studio can be added to your Bryce scenes by the same simple import mechanism. Have you always wanted to take Victoria for a stroll down your warm, sunset beach in Bryce? Well, now you can!

For some reason I don't believe this statement.... another popular item? I recall a good number of long time Bryce user loathe the link between Bryce and D/S and to be honest, even though I upgraded to B5.5, I asked for refund within a week or so and went back to good old Bryce 5. With Bryce 5 free now and reading this statement, I'm pretty sure that Bryce is kept alive only to push D/S and lure people into buying more content.

Multi-thread is a big step performance wise and can open up some real possibilities. I am currently reworking one of my older renders to take advantage of the increased speed of my new render box - 4 cores.

AS - do I have your boolean robot model? - I know I have images of it.

Yup, I gave you the scene file of the non-posable version of the robot on disk during Siggraph. (I lost the posable version in a hdd crash)

Ohhh itsa comin arry :-P Workng on some new techniques as such:-D

Clay-man?
I admit it.....I'm lost.

What the blazes are you yammering on about? ;-P

Quote - Hmm... thats a few nice things. Still i'm hoping for something that would really extend bryce's possibilities though.. Like trees and metaballs back when they were new. They were an actual extension in the way that they gave us something we couldnt make in bryce at first.

Perhaps forests.

"Instancing" (yeah, forests)

Applicable only to trees? Or does that cover anything in Bryce-space?

Instancing normally covers any object in the scene. If/when Bryce ever gets this (B7.0?), it would hopefully apply to anything. At the very least, its trees.

I note that the DAZ Brycetalk and also the DAZ ArtZone sites are not allowing access at present.  Maybe they are rejigging for the big Bryce 6 launch? :-)

All up and working for me, with no hint of B6.  Could have just been a server problem or something.

Quote - Someone will evetually copy and paste this anyway.  ;o)

Here is the list given by Steve;

Support for multi-processors and hyper-threading at render time.

New asset management dialogs that actually allow you add and delete folders as you wish, bypassing the limit of 13.

The ability to convert booleans to mesh and import/export them in and out of B6.
-Limitations - No infinite planes and metaballs (or items based on metaballs, such as trees from the tree lab), nor lights and cameras -- however, everything else is fair game!

Lighting via HDRI image maps in the Sky Lab.

The improvements to the link between Bryce and DAZ|Studio. Now, any animation you can create or import into DAZ|Studio can be added to your Bryce scenes by the same simple import mechanism.

Terrain editor - custom brushes! B6 comes with a few basic presets for new brushes types, and then Create your own brush shape from whatever image, whether it be grayscale or not, B6 will convert your image to a new brush with which you can edit or create terrains to your liking.

Random Replicate tool.

Support for 16-bit grayscale images in the Terrain Editor.

The re-vamped and re-categorized content directories.

Smaller compressed BR6 scene files.

The ability to add a texture to the moon.

Many bug fixes, such as the proximity bug with metaballs and trees that's now fixed, and the ever-dreadful "Top file menu being permanently hidden" bug now fixed.

The ability to export boolean objects as meshes sounds awesome, dude! Lots of folks have wanted that capability.

The DAZ outage must have been middle of the night in the USA kind of maintenance. I live in Australia = middle of the night in USA during my daytime. Problem went away a few hours later :-)

It had been down for me also, but when I tried to access it, a "We'll be right back" page had come up.

Yeah, my wish list addition would be to not remove the fullscreen toggle [ctrl] + [tab] thingy Corel Bryce 5 has.
