And it was probably a chrome sphere over a water plane, lol.

Bryce is just a paintbrush. The paintbrush doesn't create the art, the artist does. The more skill and talent the artist has, the better the art, and that takes some time to go through the learning curve. Judging the quality of a program by what you can accomplish with it after a couple of hours of first time use is just stupid.

And an artist only stops learning when she/he is dead. (And I'm just assuming that).

For bang for the buck, Bryce is still the best thing I've tried, and I've tried just about all the demos out there, most of which seem to be so afraid you might actually make something useful with their programs that they hobble them so badly as to be totally useless. Give me an unlimited month with your program and you might convince me it's worth the money. Otherwise, it isn't worth the space it takes up on my hard drive. Don't waste my time.

I'm sure they all have something special in their full versions, because they all have users that love them, but I need more proof that I can feel the same way about them before investing thousands of dollars. I'm already convinced when it comes to Bryce. And now that Bryce 6 is heading my way, I'm content to wait for it. :^) After all, if AS is all excited about the changes coming in future versions of Bryce, that's a good enough recommendation for me.
