Why to buy another copy of the same old program ? While you can use it together :-) DAZ did nothing to update old Bryce 5, so if you buy now another copy of Bryce it will be a waste of money. You should rather try new excellent features of Vue d'Esprit 5 just a few examples: Global Illumination / Radiosity / HDRI Metablobs (like meatballs but work on all geometric figures) New fractal materials & graphic function editor New photorealistic plants 3D text editor (that can do much more than simple 3D text) Support for direct download of animated Poser characters (with Mover plug in) Preanimated characters etc... With love! Monia
