I tried the demo last night. Yikes! Looks like a lot of learning ahead. I will start with the tutorials, but was kinda disapointed. With Bryce, within a 1/2 hour you can start creating simple pictures, click a button, get a tree, play with the atmosphere, etc. After 2 hours with Cinema all I had was a few primitives on the screen and a headache. Granted, I read NONE of the documentation. I try to get a "feel" for the program by just seeing what things do. Warm and fuzzy it is not.
