Please take no offense at my inquiry.  I was seeking shared knowledge of members here.  Why have so few answered my original request?  I don't know.  Things like a "better render engine" has never been mentioned before in this forum. 

@ all others

I'm looking for information only, not slams on Daz or its staff.  Other than the couple threads here I am in the dark.   I got it free.  That is nice.  The email notification of the reset download didn't explain anything of substance.  It would be most appreciated if anyone here could help us understand what was addressed and what still needs to be improved.  I love Bryce and experience limited crashes or problems; but, I don't tend to push the envelop as much as some.  I still think it the best, simplest and most affordable. 

If it were a $2000 app and the public was asked to pay $300 for a bug fix it would be different.  I appreciate the splendid images it produces and applaud the affordability. 

But I'm just a hobbyist so what do I know.
