I remember back in 2008 when the last Hexagon update came out, DAZ said that Bryce 8 would be coming out soon. They went on to described the some of the features included, if I recall right, Bryce 8 was to have a scripting language; a way to save light and camera setups; the ability for D/S to send rigged figures to Bryce, so that poses could be adjusted in Bryce; the ability to edit vertices, among others. It hard say how far along Bryce 8 was, whether they had just started or near completion. It might have been only as far as the as the update they released years later, but it sad to think that somewhere on a server at DAZ sits a half finished, forgotten Bryce 8.
