Alors que nous commencions à nous inquiéter du retard de Bryce, Daz|3D vient de nous faire parvenir des nouvelles mitigées :
Work on version 5.5 continues going strong. We're happy to share with you that the render speeds for many Bryce 5.5 scenes have seen amazing speed increases, some over 2 times as fast. At the same time, there are some scenes that are actually rendering slightly slower. The release of Bryce 5.5 has been delayed further as a result. We want to do everything we can to try to make the render engine work optimally in as many different scenes as possible.
In other news, the Bryce 5.5 box design has been completed and delivered to the printer. The extra content that will be included has been finalized and is ready for inclusion on the master CD. The only part that remains to be completed is a last few rounds of testing. More news on the completion of the boxed version as it completed and ready for shipping.
En résumé, ils bossent comme des malades, optimisent le moteur de rendu (qui a déjà gagné en temps de calcul sur certaines scènes, mais a des petits problèmes sur d'autres), le packaging est nickel, et les bonus inclus dans le CD sont prêts...
Allez, allez, on s'active les p'tits gars, on a de la 3D à faire nous aussi ;)
