I love Bryce. 1) Interface feels natural 2) Easy button bars for all your needs 3) Big window approach to view 4) Materials Lab although I wish I knew it better 5) Import any object just about 6) Metaballs That is a start anyway. I think that there are a couple of things that would make it better. 1) Export any object. 2) A luminense control in the materials. 3) Better starfield creation. That is all I can think of for the moment. I will add as I get more. Jesterhawk
