I agree with orbital and TheBryster, and I would also like to add, since Daz3D are really avoiding summing up anything solid about the future of Bryce, I think Bryce will always be second to other like apps........

......but just one second...... we all enjoy using Bryce right? And a lot of us have not yet learnt everything about Bryce, and just because it doesn't have ECO systems, one can still find other ways to acheive a psuedo environment by cheating a little.....what the eye doesn't see the artist gets away with! So I shall quite happily continue with Bryce, even if it's knocked off the shelf and binned, it's still got a few years in it yet....after all, it's the finished result that is important.

Thanks for taking the time Flak.
