Bryce and it's many users may have had a minor set back dealing with Corel, but the program is anything but mediocre. Bryce is a powerful program and could have excellent results if the artist put his or her mind to it. Most 3D programs have Boolean Operations and Bryce is damn good at it, so yes it is a true 3D modeling program. So it's OBJ limits to Bryce only...temporary set back. The Deep Procedural texture editor is unmatched by any other 3D program. If we truly want to compare other 3D programs to Bryce, let's wait to see the next few versions of Bryce bring: some of you who doubt may change your mind :-)
