The point Peggy Walters has made about not buying a high end program because Bryce can do it for 79 dollars is an interesting one.What I am finding is that using one of these large programs is ultimately changing the way I work.I have found it to be a broader toolset that will lend itself to the expression of a broader range of ideas.I tended to work on projects that would work well within Bryce.I have more tools so more is open to me. For example I am thinking of biulding and animating a dinosaur, I know I have the soft IK system that will allow me to make its tail sway realistically,I could never have dreamed of doing this in Bryce.
