Falling off my chair laughing at Little Dragon.... YES! That about sums up what will happen. The excitment is reaching everywhere (hence my presence here) and we over in Bryce are just as jazzed as you here! Skirts next? Praise be! Thank you, Anton. m.

ROTF laughing my bottom off! No wonder I am lost! How did I get from 3D Commune to Renderosity? errr, hi, all. m.

:-> Thanks, Prizm. It is rather liberating being able to speak my mind and not be in "proper mode". Just hope I don't get carried away! Laugh. Nor do I want to contribute to this being a flame thread or a "jump on those who dare to disagree" situation. I just honestly think some expectations are off, and couldn't resist commenting. And face it, Bryce does inspire fierce loyalty. Oh, and I've heard World Builder is a bear to learn. :-> Now, can someone PLEASE tell me how to find this thread again? Can't seem to find it unless go through link from another message. (continues to wander around totally lost.) m.

(can't resist sticking my nose in. sorry if this posts double.. software seems to have eaten first attempt..) I am amused at the comments that Poser figures should look the same in Bryce as they do in Poser. How do you figure that? The main difference is simple: lighting. It is the difference between "studio" lighting and bright natural "sun" lighting. Any girl can tell you about that. Heck, ever walk outside and realize one of your socks is back and one is blue? I can set up lighting in Bryce to imitate the very flattering lighting in Poser and get the same basic results. But when I am using all the lightin available to me, yes, some adjustments are needed. I don't find that unreasonable. I would like to see the figures smoother, but remember, you are changing from native Poser to flat .obj. The fault is the format or at best, Poser's. I don't see the figures look better in other apps, they always need smoothing. Smoothing such a dense mesh comes at a huge price... size. And I can't speak for Vue, but I find importing period a bother, importing into Bryce seems pretty straight forward. I'll agree, Meta should have integrated these two. But then Meta should have done alot of things. I'm surprised at the disgruntlement. I've seen and heard alot, and think this at least should be called a major upgrade. One thing I think many forget is that Corel just spent a huge expenditure on purchasing Bryce and some key engineers. They need some return on that, much more then they could get from the few sales of those just now buying Bryce 4. Without that, there will be no Bryce 6, maybe no Bryce. Do we want that? And I am vastly reassured to see "our" Bryce is still there, some enhancements, but the same software we all love. I think they are offering a nice little treat here, enough to make this totally legitimate. This whole thing to me seems a winning situation. Oh, and Amazon is now taking preorder with a release date of July 10th. ok, off my soapbox. m.

Paul, that is brillant! (runs off to try) m.

oh. my. I'll take one, thank you. heh. Well done. m.

Hi KA, I'd go for as much CPU and RAM as you could. The RAM will serve you well when you are trying to work in the program and work with larger files, and the CPU will give you your render speed. The graphics card can also make your refresh rate more pleasing, and allow you say heavier use of views besides mesh, but it is the CPU that will give you your power. m.

Don't look at me! Wrestlers?!? I wouldn't have a clue where to begin. Unless, of course, they have long curly hair and wear lace. heh. heheeee m.

children at play? LOL, understood. And sorry, guys, for the slightly unfair "overeaction". I can well imagine the sheer size of your job here. m.

Hello Jack, and thank you. I feel much more comfortable and reassured, both by the action and by your taking the time to reply. I can now look forward to poking around here some more. eck! My first time here and I cause a fuss. Not a good sign, huh? :-> m.

Good god. First time I have been through this forum section, although I am a heavy Poser user, think Renderosity is a great site, and have been a member for a couple of months. But lord, how offensive. And discouraging. Not a good first impression. And this is the second message I've seen with profanity freely used. And this is only the second thread I have read. sigh. I believe the gentleman requested someone do work for him, for which he stated up front the intent, basic content, and the fact that no pay could be involved. I don't believe he asked you for the app. series number or for you to burn a copy of it and send it to him. sheesh. m.
