As for Bryce 5.5...I have heard a number of things that indicate that is actully slower on older Bryce files.
Check out his thread in DAZ BRyce talk for just some of the details.. http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=18960 http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=18808
In addition allow me to quote something from the forums for those who don't have an account there:
From a member named Benjamin: I was really shocked when installing Bryce 5.5 when finding out that D/S is needed for Bryce 5.5 to even work.
Of course I've chosen to say no to the D/S installation. But somehow still the basic stuff is installed and from Bryce 5.5 I can start D/S even though I choose not to install it!
I don't want D/S on my pc, I want Bryce 5.5. I can't stand D/S and it's rediculous that it needs to be installed for Bryce 5.5 to operate.
Can you please tell me how to get rid of D/S (I can't even find it anywhere on my HD) and if it's integrated then please provide a patch to disintegrate it again. I'm not happy that you force applications on user that they haven't asked for at all. Even though it's free, I don't want it.
From what I have been able to tell here they are using D/S to handle the import functions..instead of writing PZ3 support into the newest Bryce, they bundle D/S into the code in order to handle it. Now I know of some people who have been having a hi-ho time with D/S...for me how ever it is about as stable a nitro in a cuisinart. Poser imports just seem to take for ever. Plus there have been serious problems with importing textures and having imported Poser objects just disappear at times.
As of right now I am seriously thinking about not buying it. I have been doing some test runs with the preview copy of Vue 5 and I have found out that even the preview copy will flawlessly import a Poser figure. It get's the colors right and even handles strand based hair effectively.
The interface is close enough to Bryce that I don't have to be a damn engineer to use it....(shares some similarities with Carrara as well) However, the only thing that makes me feel sick to my stomach right now is the fact that I have so much stuff built into my install of Bryce and there doesn't seem to be anyway to make Vue read/import a Bryce file.
Sigh, rock and a fucking hard place man I'll tell ya.
