I have only used a free version of Bryce for a small amount of time so I can't comment much on it. I do think that Carrara can do landscapes like Bryce and Vue it just may take a bit more work. This is why I started to try some landscapes in Carrara . Carrara has the benefit of having much more modelling and rendering options as well as having a brighter future. Bryce 6 may not arrive although I hope it does. Mike
