Like your right and I'm not trying to trash Corel there a great company and have some great products but Bryce needs to be rewritten from the ground up so what on earth did they purchase? A name? Now they have to make a profit. Now if they rewrite the entire product I'm sure older files will stop working, and that right now is one of the only reasons people own Bryce is because of the vast libraries of stuff they have collected over the years for it. Cut that all out and your devoted following will have some really hard decisions to make. Like what can they add to Bryce to keep people buying it? Plants like Vue? That's soild growth is patented and I'm sure E-On is just waiting for somebody to try to offer a similar idea in there product. So doing plants and trees right now is a big big problem for 3d guys. How to keep it different enough as to not infringe on E-On's protected idea. That's going to be hard to do. Think about it. I would not want to be the programmer that is given the task to try to come up with a idea that will work around it. Like there is ways of doing it. Lots of meshes or flat picture trees like World Craft.I'd say Bryce has almost reached it limit of what can be done really in it's present form. Sure they can add some stuff and improve there code. Lets not forget everyone points out how bug laden Vue 4 is but seem to forget the offical version right now is 4.1 If you don't think so write E-On and ask them how to fix something in 4.0 and you are going to get no where. It's already been taken care of. Bugs that are in Bryce 2 are still in the latest version. What's up with that? I'm not saying that even 4.1 is completly bug free but I haven't found any that get in my way when I do stuff with the program. I'm sure there is still some. The product Bryce cannot be justified by it's price. It's overpriced right now. Z Brush is cheaper and it has many many advantages over Bryce. Mojoworld it catching up real fast and it's going to pass them real soon. Like all the cool stuff in Bryce right now is also already available in Mojoworlds new version 2.0 Like I'm sure Bryce will not go away anytime to soon but I bet Coral gets rid of it to somebody else as soon as they realize that they made a mistake. Personally I'd like to see it succeed and I'd buy it if there was a reason to buy it but I don't see any reason to purchase it right now. So if you see me in the future with Bryce it's going to be one powerful program for sure. That's not the case right now. It not the best tool for the job at hand. Maybe some day but not in it's present form.
