Well I know Larry Weinberg is gonna be PO'd because they spend MONTHS developing a programming SDK so that Bryce in iteraction could be utilized. Also the Poser 5 Pro Ed. ain't gonna happen. It's taken Larry and team since July to get a decent bug fix for P4 out and even Larry and Seath have stated that there is still quite a bit left to do with Poser 4. If anything the only thing I could see would be a "Poser Addon Pack" with plugins and the new and improved Zygote Models. AND they ARE working on a TRUE 3DS export that will hopefully be in the next patch. As for Carrera Larry was saying that Carrera was to be Meta's answer to 3DSMax. It was going to allow for LOTS of expandablity. They were also working on plugins for that program too. Bryce for $50 bucks? Sounds doable. I kinda wish they just called programs like Poser 2 or 3 and Bryce 2 or 3 the "Lite Versions" or SE versions. Not quite as good, but more entry level. Kinda like "If you like these you love THESE!" As for Canoma, it was a flop from the start. It was too expensive and it didn't allow for spheres and circluar patterns. It was nice, but not nice enough. Kinda of a waste of time and money if you ask me. In that new 3DSuite they should've put in RDS5.5. Here's hopin' huh guys.
