Heard dat. I loved the ease and simplicity of getting right into Bryce, even though I was a latecomer (since Bryce 4) to the Bryce scene. If Corel isn't going to listen to the 3-D communities like 'osity Bryce users, they're setting themselves up for a huge fall. And that's too bad. I'll admit that for what I do, I'm fairly happy with almost everything Bryce 5 does with the exception of 'true' Poser import (import of pz3's or cr2's, as opposed to exported obj's... of course, Poser could be so nice as to set up export obj/mat files that showed relative file paths so that you didn't have to look up each and every texture file in your poser tectures directory). The only other option to someone like me (I'm an artist, not a modeler, and I doubt if I can devote the time to learning to model in a program like 3DS Max, Truespace, or the like) was Vue, which I'm still considering, but almost solely because of its Poser importing ability... After all, the Bryce online community is so much bigger and more prevalent than the Vue one, as is 3rd party (private user) support for mats and objects here at 'osity. The Bryce interface seems to be a lot easier to use, and the importability of PSD files into the texture editor makes it so much easier to use than some others. On top of that, I learned twice as much about using Bryce from Kitchens and Gavenda's 'Real World Bryce 4' as I did from the user's manual, same as I did using the Photoshop Bible series for Photoshop, as opposed to Adobe's user manual. I'm not even aware of any sort of book like that is available for Vue. Yet, at least. It would truly suck hard if Corel didn't pay any attention to their 3-d art community's suggestions, like here at 'osity. It might also force a lot of people who would ordinarily salivate at the possibilities for Bryce to take a look around and start supporting other products that do listen to their users' forums. AF
