I love Bryce and still use it despite the fact that I have access to very expensive high end software, there is just something special about the bryce environment. For modelling Bryce is just about adequate, for creatures and characters a combination of lattices and metaballs can work wonders, but truthfully consider wings or if in the UK look for a back issue of PC format, Computer Arts or 3dworld with the free C4D CE on it, it's a good modeller and can save to 3ds format which will import into bryce and various other packages. (the 3dworld issue was October 2003)
