The modeling capabilities of Bryce is limited,now that i have said that I am certain that I will get shot down :), but it is excellent for landscapes, simple modeling, importing poser people and other items. Many of us bought Bryce at the original price, I believe it is now around $US 79.00, an absolute bargain. If you have the money get Bryce and then use it as a learning tool, you will probably find out that you will wind up using it on a daily basis. :) You can use Poser for people and creatures and there are other apps designed as modelers, C4D, Amapi, and Wings3d are just a few. Wings is a free download and there is a forum here for it. It would be a good place to start and the price can not be beat. BabaLouie
