I was very impressed with the new Vue5 features when I visited their site. There's a few pics in the Vue Gallery using the new Global Illumination. I found it VERY impressive. As Sackrat said, the Vue skies are FAR better than Bryce's. If you're not a good postworker (like me) good realistic skies mean a lot. That, along with all the other interesting features, will probably temp me to buy Vue5 and make the switch. But, I'll see what Bryce6 turns out to be. If it's just a Bryce5 with a faster renderer and not much else, then screw Bryce, I'm switching to Vue.
