stevie822, Ill throw in my 2 cents too. I love Bryce, my fav 3d program above all the highend ones. But there is no sense in sugarcoating its faults. It has an incredibly slow rendering engine. The slowest out in the market (that I am aware of). But I still use Bryce, which should show you that its positives exceed its negatives by a long shot. Ive used it for 4 years on and off but always come back to it. So, fo $79, it is well worth the buy. Im pretty sure Ive gotten my moneys worth out of it :-)
