One thing that Bryce will always have on Vue are the procedural textures/landscapes by Eric Wenger and Ken Musgrave(Doc Mojo). Doc (literally) wrote the book on procedural fractals and Eric is the father of all landscape apps like Bryce and Vue. Even now, 8 years later, some of Eric's noises are not even duplicated in high end texture engines like Mental Ray. The far superior quality of the Bryce textures is quite clear to me when comparing the Bryce and Vue images posted above. Bryce5 also works on any PC from Win95 to XP Pro and Mac OS9.1 to OSX10.3 (and it hasn't been updated in 2 years!). It will also work with any video card, except truly ancient ones. Can Vue say the same? Bryce also includes both the Mac and PC versions, E-on charges full price for both. The Mac Vue demos (I've tried 3 now) have failed to work for more then about 10 minutes on any of my Macs. All those features don't mean much if it doesn't work. DAZ also offers a 30 day, unconditional money back guarantee. Best; Dan
