There is a (sadly) interesting thread over DAZ.

Months ago I wrote (and was immediately tarred and feathered by the usual suspects) that the Infinito plugin for Studio was a very bad omen for the future of Bryce and here we have the not-doing-any-development-"currently" for Bryce. I do not rejoice because I know that Bryce had a loyal following and those people are receiving a very sour Christmas present; I just register that I was right.

On the other hand the news about Hexagon is completely understandable. In a world where you can download for free a beast like Blender 2.61 there is no more place for a program like Hexagon.

At the same time I noticed one of the features of the new Reality release is the support for IES lights. Given that one of the features that distinguish Carrara Pro from Standard are IES lights... I see another black bird slowly circling in the sky, especially after having read a post in the previous page about an ever increasing assimilation (sorry, integration) of Carrara with Studio.
