I have been a long time Bryce user, and would like to see Bryce continued to be upgraded and be a viable program for 3d in the future. Bryce has it's faults, just like any program does....none of them are perfect! But Bryce comes close. I use Bryce 5 on the Mac and it has always been incrediblely stable, except for a few operations that I have learned to stay away from....like when I am importing a Poser character into a scene and I get a message asking where a particular texture is. I tried to locate the asked for tex at first, but Bryce would always lock-up trying to bring it in during the process of importing the Poser character. Now I wait until the import is in the scene and apply the needed textures then. But this is a small workaround when you consider all the things that Bryce can do successfully. Bryce can be a very powerful 3d app....if you know how to harness that power, and are willing to work a little harder to get what you want. Bryce will deliver! One thing that I have marveled at is Bryces ability to work without a hich on both system 9 and system 10. System 10 is vastly different from system 9, and most apps have had to be updated when users have gone from 9 to 10. But not Bryce! The same version I bought when I was running system 9 works just fine now that I have upgraded to system 10. No matter what system I have running as the start-up system, Bryce doesn't seem to miss a beat. I say this because one app that I still use on a regular basis is Ray Dream Studio. It's an old 3d prog that I just can't seem to part with and unfortunately will only work with system 9 as the start-up system. Which means that I have to choose system 9 as the start-up system, reboot my computer, and then start-up RDS. This would be really inconvienent if after finishing with RDS, I had to go back to system 10, restart my computer again and then go to Bryce. But I don't as Bryce is multi-lingual so to speak. I only bring this up to illustrate how versatile and flexable Bryce is. One thing that I would like to see the people at DAZ do, is dump the tree lab. Get rid of all the useless code this lab takes up and devote the space to something that really works and produces something that will make Bryce more competible with other 3d progs like Vue and Carrara.
