Actually this is a positive event. I am uncertain as to how much DAZ supports the Mac, but Corel officially is killing all it's Mac products one by one. I just hope that they sell Painter before killing it for the Mac. Although I would suspect that as far as Painter goes, it has more of a Mac following, but I could be wrong. I guess this means that their is at least a glimmer of hope to see Bryce come back on the Mac.
I don't agree with the statement that Bryce if already very mature, it's rendering is super slow. They could work in optimizing it better and speeding it up a bit. Doing any kind of animation is commercially is not possible because it takes to much time. This area of it could be greatly improved. It should have better exporting capabilities too.
