Many years ago there was a movie called 'Lorenzo's Oil'.  It was about a child who had somekind of disease that paralized him. His father spent years researching medical stuff in order to help his son and eventually found the solution, but he needed a special kind of 'oil'.

A Pharmacutical(SS) company was asked to make the stuff, but they really did't want to spend loads of money on the process so they gave the job to on old guy who was about to retire. It took him six months but on the day he retired he left a big bottle of 'Lorenzo's Oil' on his desk and asked that it be sent to the little boy (now a teenager). The stuff did the trick - kinda.

So you lot are asking "WTF is that stupid from Mars going on about?"
Daz should hire a programming guy who is about to retire and give him the job of dragging Bryce into the 21st century. Give him the resouces he needs etc etc, but they shouldn't let him work on anything BUT Bryce!

I love the Interface. Yes, it has a lot of  empty space that could used to add features, but as it stands it's almost perfect. Yes, I think the Display Modes Icon is in the wrong place. Yes, the D/S button is all wrong. Yes, there are a million things we could wish for.

But how many guys can think of stuff they would change in 3Dmax, Vue etc?

I really hate apps that have 3 or 4 views on the screen at the same time. I think in 3D.
Bryce presents in 3D. I can see through it and all around it and there in lies its beauty.

You Guys often ask me how I have the patience to create the stuff I do. It's because I have patience that I can create that stuff. Bryce is more able to let you work at your own speed. Its slow render times mean long thinking times - I'm not taking about final renders - I'm talking about the time you have to create stuff. When you're rendering wips you have the time to think about what you're going to do if this pass or that pass doesn't turn out how you want it to.

Simply put, it works for me, and from what I've seen over the years, it works for you too or you wouldn't be here. And even if you don't like the next iteration of Byce you can always keep the one you already have.

Stop moaning and start working. We're supposed to be having fun here!
