There is no Mac software of note that I do not have. The strongest single program for Mac 3D is still ElectricImage 2.9, but there is a more "magical" program, and I'm not sure why. I'm talking about Bryce. Bryce is to 3D what Marvel Comics used to be to fantasy illustration, what Star Trek is to sci-fi. When I heard that Patrick Stuart was going to play Dr.X in the new X-men movie, I thought of Bryce. Legions of Bryce freaks were waiting patiently for Poser characters to become animatable within Bryce.Now that these former Metacreations programs have been purchased by different companies, integration may never happen. This is a very sad prospect. Is there anyone who can help us? Please don't piss on this thread by touting Poser integration with some other program. Bryce is unique and you know it. -Gear

Please don't check boxes that don't apply. And yes, write to Corel and tell them how much you love Bryce and poser and when you can you buy the new version with integration.

Your right, Bryce is unique to any platform. The wealth of information available for it is also unique. However, reading info from MacNN & other threads leads me to believe that Poser integration with Bryce is unlikely to happen. I'm keeping an eye on Ken Musgrave & team at http://www.wizardnet.com/musgrave/FractalWorlds.html to see if their "next generation" Bryce-Like program (MojoWorld) will do it, after all they have Curious Labs (Posers new home) as a partner. You can bet that they are looking into this.
