Quote - -Wow...I had no idea you were that down on DAZ and Bryce.

Heh, actually I was in a really good mood and having a laugh when I wrote that.

I'm not down on DAZ in particular (and I'm definitely not down on Bryce). But I also have no sentimental delusions about DAZ. Bryce development with them has been slow, awkward and somewhat cynical. Their decision on the future, certainly as far as high-power 3D is concerned, is evidenced by their purchase of Carrara and the retention of its software team. Bryce may continue at DAZ - if version 6 is amazing enough to persuade enough people to buy it. But giving something a minor tweak and then selling it again (such as Steph3 after Vic3) is in DAZ's blood. It works with the "Poser" content buyers, but I'm not convinced it works with Brycers.

But in all this I'll be delighted to be proved wrong. That's the joy of pessimism. ;-)

The "who is using what?" question is an interesting one. I haven't done any counting, but I get the impression that the Vue gallery here is very close to the Bryce gallery in terms of action. The quality "signal to noise" ratio in the Vue gallery is certainly higher.
