Ah yes, 3D Commune, the place where one can't be a member unless one uses an email supplied by the ISP. I simply refuse to use an email addy that requires outlook express or other 'user friendly' email client. I use yahoo because I prefer itle.
Thanks for the replies so far... good reading.

Oh, and that ' provisional Cardinal status' Bryster, does that come with any privilages mate. :D

I started using Bryce when it was version 2, and created many mountain/sea reflection scenes and even tried a little animation in the process. I then gave it a break to concentrate on composing music, another one of my hobbies, and along the way tried to get to grips with the likes of Lightwave, 3DS, Blender and Metasequoia....the latter I did get to grips with, but like Bryster, don't have the time. I'm 50 now and my brain feels more like 70. I'm having difficulty learning Swedish since moving to Sweden 2 years ago, and my poor brain just wants to concentrate on something easy... Bryce fits that bill, but i'm still pissed that not many people take it serious.
If you create masterpiece art with Bryce and show someone, they might say, thats fantastic.... and ask you if you used 3DS etc. but you say Bryce, and you can hear the laughter from here to the door slamming!!!
You are correct though Bryster, clever marketing would improve the status of Bryce... with the inclusion of more uptodated tools of course to bring it on par with the ground breaking additions like Eco Systems TM... just my little joke there Haha! But, I don't think Daz3D are capable quite honestly.

I guess it is also right that we should promote it more ourselves. If only there was a place... like Renderosity that had all the talent known to Bryce (and just Bryce) at it's helm. I'm sure we could make something of it. What say you >Captain Bryster. :)
