Bea I don't have any major complaint about Bryce 6; what the heck - Bryce 5 crashed sometimes too.  I do like the new features; been having lots of fun with them.  When the crashes occurred I'd been messing around testing what I could do with IBL; only had 2 meshes, one fill-in light and 2 primitives in the scene, and no DAZ Studio link.  A screen popped up asking if I wanted to report the problem to DAZ; I said yes, and then was taken to a website that said it was unavailable at the time.  This happened several times and I did not feel a need to report in the DAZ forums 'cause I don't frequent that site - 'rosity is "home" to me.  I'm a loyal Bryce user since version 3D and am glad DAZ is keeping Bryce alive.  The $6 was indeed a bargain!
