eyeland,
I do believe a point that both ICM and myself are trying to make, as well as the post issue, well me in any case for sure, is that since DAZ bought Bryce and added the easy bridge to importing their scenes holus bolus, Bryce at certain points starts to look more like in the main, a render engine for the convenience of DAZ users...just what I've noticed.
No flies on DAZ as it is a cute lil app for folks  who need that but, and I admit I haven't even got into it so I could be way off base, it is not essentially a modeler, but more of a[please forgive my ignorace here]stage set[ not the correct term but conveys the image] to display DAZ figures...at which point it really ceases being more than 10% Bryce....as I said, just my 2 cents whatever that's worth today.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
