How can we convince this German company to cooperate with Corel to intergrate Poser and Bryce. Will it really come to pass that Poser characters will never be animatable within Bryce? The very flaws and peculiarities of Bryce make it the "epic" environment for Poser life. An entire universe of surrealistic cartooning will never be. I know the integration was not going to be easy. Glorious capability never is. My heart aches. -Gear

My guess is that Steve Cooper has plans for what sort of integration he wants to do. They just got started, so I'd wait to see what they say. I'm a week behind on the poser list, so maybe this is going on now? My hope would be to integrate with Cinema 4D, a vastly more stable and much more comercially respected tool than RDS or Bryce. They are owned by Maxon, another German company. It would be nice to get a lightwave and Max plugin also, just for the sales potential.

I agree about not concentrating solely on Bryce. I'd prefer to see Curious Labs come up with file formats and documentation for third parties to use, not produce just a Bryce plugin. I'm also an avid Cinema4D user, and that is one of the programs I'd like to see supported.

People who can afford multi-thousand dollar apps can afford to buy poser. And I've heard the CC is an enormous pain. Users get a good tool, curious gets a bunch on non-price sensitive buyers. Painter 3D should have gone with painter.
