"So far I have not been impressed by the outdoor scene renders (with no figures )ive seen posted by C6pro users."

Neither am I, it's obvious that DAZ has focussed way to mcuh on copying Poser features in C6, instead of improving the outdated landscapes features. It seems like DAZ is spending al it's energy on trying to take poser out of the market and winning poser users over to their side, instead of expanding into new areas and generating new users.

"I'm hoping there are untapped resources lurking in the program somewhere to propel it beyond a Bryce level of low quality. "

Don't count on it, it seems like DAZ lacks serious innovation, inspiration and knowledge to do so. All the added was a scene wizard and a bit of ocean and to be perfectly honest the old C5 plugins do a better job. The scene wizard seems to be a waste of time also. They're still using hopelessly outdated materials and vegetation in C6.

I'm sure C6 will generate some nice funds for DAZ, even after lot's have returned C6, but I'm afraid all these new resources will only be used to try and gain  the upper hand in the poser software market, instead of getting C6 uo to date. It's very clear what DAZ want to use C6 for...... independancy from EF and another application to push their content. It's a shame, they own such cool applications and yet fail to utilize, modernize and innovate them.
