AgentSmith, thanks…I don’t mean to sound too negative but I’m reading about all these problems here. And I’m sure it will all get straightened out in the wash. I always enjoy using  Bryce and it will always be on my favorites list and part of my tool kit. I just wish it’ll be all ironed out sooner rather than later. In the mean time I’ll continue using my 5.5 and continue to enjoy your way-out and fantastic renders.
