"Poser 5 can do most of the things that bryce can." But not 10% as effectively. Try lassooing a bunch of objects, duplicating them, and dragging the duplicates in the X direction only (for example, in creating a colonnade). When it comes to setting up scenes, Poser with its "one figure must be selected at all times and only one figure" model is hopeless compared to Bryce or Vue. Poser was not INTENDED as an independent renderer until P5, and remains saddled with a system that betrays its ancestry as an adjunct to other 3D apps.
