Oh man to be able to develope plugins for Bryce to compete with the other high end Programs would make my day complete I am and always will be a Bryce user but I quite agree that if something isnt done quick Bryce will fall way behind...I am purchaseing Lightwave or at least I have almost enough to get but was looking and most Jobs do reguire users to use Maya too and I am stumped as to which one but both have Excellent qualities...But If they develope better modeling abilities (Point editing and maybe spline?)and exporting in OBJ format With the ability to develope plugins like SDK and be able to sell under NO RESTRICTIONS I would buy Bryce...
