Greetings to all!! My name is Gabriel, and I apologize if I combine first message I write here.

I found this thread through a Google search, and I just want to comment that I started with Bryce 2 for PC, then I moved to 5 and finally I bought Bryce 7.1 PRO, which I use on two PCs. one with Windows 7 and the other, an Asus laptop with Windows 10.

For me, Bryce has hit the ceiling as it is. It is unstable on Windows 7 and 10. I use it with L.A.A. but their limit on RAM is absurd. Its rendering slowness is excessive, and that I only limit myself to making static images. It doesn't even cross my mind to make short animations.

I worked for an artist in New York, as a 3D designer, to create 3D images that reflected his style and his art, and in that time period I got to know a lot of things about Bryce, but also his limitations. Even he himself told me that, talking to other artists, when he commented that I was working for him with Bryce, they told him "what is wrong with you?"

The result: a few months ago I stopped working for him, because I no longer provide him with what he wants, because of the program. Now I still use Bryce for my ideas as an artist, but already without much illusion, knowing that I use a program that is out of the labor market in 2023. I have installed Blender 3.4, and I will start learning other software again, since DAZ is not interested in keeping Bryce alive in the least.

It's very sad for me to say it, but Bryce is dead. At least that's the feeling I have.
Greetings to all.
