Awesome! Thanks Guitta! =OD

Ummm, no, thanks. And if you have any contact with e-on, you might tell them that nobody would want an "upgraded" Bryce that would look and behave like Vue.

This is an "Upgrade", meant to get more people switching apps, from Bryce, to Vue. Nothing else! No thanks! Vue may have a bright future, but that doesnt mean that Bryce is dead! If ill have to choose, Bryce is the superior modeler, AND has a better interface. Vue is nice, but not that nice!

Well if I had the money I'd consider it. Not to switch from Bryce to Vue (I like Bryce too much for that), but to have both.

Of course this is an effort to get more people to use Vue! It is definitely taking advantage of the fact the Bryce seems to have a bleak future at the momment. That's smart business and I applaud them for that. If you would like to do things that Vue can do and Bryce can't, then this is a good deal. The applications are so similar in their abilities, though, that I strongly suggest that anyone interested try Vue for themself and carefully weigh whether or not it will be of benefit to them. (Yes, there are things that Vue can do that Bryce can't, and the reverse is very true as well.) Heck, I'm seriously considering the offer because it would make "some" projects quicker and easier and give me a few more options. I wouldn't give up on Bryce's future yet, however! Even if Bryce wasn't picked up by somebody and development discontinued, I would still use it for the things it does best. (Here's hoping that doesn't happen, though, and that Bryce has a bright future.) As for the interfaces these two programs use... I've got roll my eyes and sigh everytime someone says one is better then the other. I think Bryce has the Vue interface only marginally beat, but not by all that much. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and I say that having used a "wide" variety of CG applications ranging from the low to high end (so called hobby to professional applications). This will probably get me stoned with rotting vegitable material, but... I'd love to see the best features of both interfaces combined. End of rant. 8)

IMO I think Vue is a Vistapro rip-off...

Alan-ASD I promise I won't vaseline or peanutbutter your keyboard(LOL), I do have both Bryce and Vue, been there, done that, and still here!! Predators can smell a wounded animal and sales is the nature of the beast, so I don't fault them for that. Both programs have their pros and cons. I just happen to find Bryce more to my personal liking. Different strokes I guess. If we all liked the same thing, we'd all be driving the same ugly car.


Alan-ASD ( ) posted Tue, 29 April 2003 at 7:34 PM

Hehehe! Thanks for not vandalizing my keyboard ICMgraphics. I'm not sure were that rant came from. It just burst out before I could sit on my rebelious fingers. 8D

I dont think ANY app will replace Bryce for loyal Bryce users, although Vue's landscapes look awesome. To have both would be nice. But calling it an "upgrade" is laughable.


bikermouse ( ) posted Tue, 29 April 2003 at 10:21 PM

If you can afford it, It sounds like a good deal. That was infact the only way I was able to afford the Watcom Compiler. I would recommend that you check to make sure that any manuals are included before buying a sidegrade of Vue however. I still don't have manuals for Watcom and because of that it is much less useful than it would otherwise be. I'm still hoping to sidegrade into MAX or Lightwave but I doubt that will happen, and I just spent my hundred upgrading to Poser 5 so it'll be a while before I can sidegrade to Vue anyway.

I have both, and like them equally, so no incentive for me...while Bryce renders one thing I do another in Vue. In fact they are my two favorite 3d apps.

This sucks donkey gonads, in my opinion. I was one of the people who filled out the form in the hope that perhaps E-ON might BUY Bryce, not give a non-competitive price. E~


Doublecrash ( ) posted Wed, 30 April 2003 at 7:12 AM

I won't give any special motives, you all already know those, but I'll stick with Bryce. In Italy we have an old folk song that says "Il primo amore non si scorda mai"... or, "You will never forget your first love". S. :) PS: Draculaz: "This sucks donkey gonads" <--- amazing idiom! Got the podium in my fav slang sentences of the month. LOL


Rochr ( ) posted Wed, 30 April 2003 at 9:40 AM

Draculaz, That was the very same reason i filled out their form as well. But hey, thanx E-ON & Gebe, ive suddenly lost all my interest in Vue!

I think they wouldnt have gone to trouble to do a survey if this was the only result. I have asked people at e-on software about buying Bryce, but they avoided answering my question. I think if they were not intrested in buying Bryce they would say so. I have always good support from e-on, and the people from e-on visit the Vue forum and seem to care. If they buy Bryce I think they would try to find a good solution for Bryce users. chikako

That is a point in Vue's favor, e-on does take an active interest in Vue's users, and visits their forum on a regular basis, not to mention encouraging their users to submit images to e-on...go figure...

For some reason Vue has some issues with my PC. I must admit it has some pretty impressive results in some areas, but still very I'm happy with Bryce =) So, I'll just save my money and upgrade my PC, better yet... wait for Bryce 6... a real upgrade!


tonyJ ( ) posted Wed, 30 April 2003 at 6:08 PM

It seems to me that many are waiting for an upgrade to Bryce that may not ever appear.Now I own Both Vue 4 and Bryce 5 but do not use either so much now. Bryce was my first 3d ap though and I loved using it. Bryce is powerful in unique ways, Its fractal terrain engine for instance is hard to beat.It seems to me ther are a lot of disappointed Brycer's out there and I feel for them...but maybe times have moved on? I had a look at pandromeda yesterday and saw Mojoworld. It seems to me, especially given the people that are developing mojoworld that it could be the natural progression from Bryce anyway, What do people think about this? I for one feel pretty excited about the direction Dr Musgrave and colleagues are pushing this technology...maybe the Bryce/Vue debate is not so important, what about true fractal world creation? Are many people migrating to Mojo? I am certainly thinking about it...


Erlik ( ) posted Wed, 30 April 2003 at 6:30 PM

Doc Mojo is interested in buying Bryce, but Corel still asks too much for it. Anyway, I think we had a consensus here that it would be a very nice thing for Doc Mojo to buy Bryce and do some crossover between Mojoworld and Bryce. He even asked for a wishlist in the case he acquires Bryce. Which is (much) more than people from e-on did, AFAIK.

I wouldn't even think of accepting such a hybrid, unless I could take my textures with it..;)

Interesting.... But I think if your going to use a peice of software, then use it. Don't mod an exsisting peice of software... Use one and use the other if you want. But dont amalgamate them together.. dear god!
