I remember a discussion during the Corel Bryce 5 beta  and the period of ideahunting for the next version (plugins, weatherlab, scriptlanguage and so on). Yes, I was in the betateam for 5 and the conceptteam for 6 and 6 pro. We discussed a new renderer too and the idea to have a openpluginport for renderengines.

It is really time to think about the concepts we had. Actually the slowdown is even on a fast computer so extrem, that Bryce is becoming more and more useless. It needs masochistic feelings sometimes...
