...well I've been exporting nearly every Bryce model into VUE since Bryce 4.1--!!! This was using the special B 4.1 "Easter Egg" trick. ..these models were also re-textured and look identical in Vue!
The difficulty becomes when Bryce modelers would embed a Boolean into a MESH-- you had to search out and remove each Boolean object or else the MESH would NOT export! In most cases this was not a big problem- just sometimes time consuming.
The actual example of what I'm trying to export now as a Boolean model is something made by Zoltar- it's been removed from his website however (Victorian Porch- nearly ALL Booleans!) But several other Zoltar models have little hidden Booleans in them- and must be rooted out to make the MESH export... I haven't tried this yet with Bryce 6.

Another thing I have been doing is downloading all the Boolean only models I can find- as some people may not like the idea that their models can now actually be EXPORTED as meshes... so those models may "disappear"...
...ultimately- I think this whole Boolean to MESH process is a step towards the next version of Carrara being able to directly IMPORT Bryce scenes! This is something I would welcome- and seems like the logical progression of what DAZ Carrara would want to offer it's user base...
