actually from what I know 50 bucks for most of these changes would be extreme. Some of the ideas here is nothing more then add a few lines of code here and there or adjusting the size of a view box. But I can say that from what I have learnt about the actual rendering engine of bryce Corel does not own the rights to that( saw it in an Magazine article about 6 or 7 months ago). They would have to contact the owner and see if he would make the changes or allow Corel to do so. That is one of the few things that could potentially increase the price up around 100 bucks easy. But then again Corel did make it possible to speed up the rendering time by allowing the use of sending out parts of the image to a network of computers. if you work in an office that uses alot of computers I would have to suggest say go make friends with the admin guys. They might let you run it the evenings when most the people are gone. Plus if you are lucky they might let you run it on the servers... Now that is rendering power there :o) think of the stuff you could create there. As for me I want to see changes that make the end user job a little more productive. One fearuter I would like to see worked on is the Material Lab. Heck there is so much screen realastate wasted for such a small box they could intergrate the DTE with then actual Material Lab and save us the end user the hassle of having to pop back and forth between the two when we are working on a material that has 2 or more textures to it. If they could do a few of these other features then that would make our lives a little easier then heck yea I am all for it. I think I would be willing to pony up a little more dough without crying about it.
