Quote - If you love Brye 5 then PLEASE support Bryce 7. We've worked hard on it. There is no good reason not to upgrade. Forget any negative statements people might have made at the beginning of the release, they are all wrong. Bryce 7 is fantastic and all Bryce uers should at least try it out. Fun fun.
I do own Bryce7, in fact it's on my super-umputer(5 TBS). I love Bryce!.. Bryce seven... Um, well.. Okay, just yesterday I built a huge scene on it and when I went to set the document size I could only get it to 3200x2400.. "What!" I wanted it at 4500x6500 and it would not allow. Okay so fine, I'll render it smaller. I click okay, boom - program blows up.
Worst occurance: I'm saving a file, (had it for years), boom-it blows up, AND the file is permanently corupt. This has happened now three seperate times on three seperate files. Now I do back up my comp so I could recover. Problem is I lost weeks(not hours) of work.
almost every scene I load into Bryce7 saved from Bryce5 crashes it.
****I won't go on, and please don't get me wrong, I love what I've been able to build with it. I just keep crossing my fingers and hoping I and it can get along one day.
After all, Bryce3,4 had in some way TRAINED me on how to treat them. So when we fall in love with a product we'll put up with its little querks and a relationship is built...
"I know if I click this button without closing this dialog it will blow-up." type of relation. So I do persist. Problem is only one percent of my work reaches final render in 7. Maybe I'm just too 5 to be 7. (LOL)
