No, not at all. The analogy is Gets things done = truck = Vue Nice to drive = car = Bryce By and large in any difference bewteen the two that involves render abilities (engine, terrains, atmosphere, lighting) Vue wins and anything to do with actually using the program Bryce wins. It's Vue that has camera controls so sluggish as to be practically unusable. It's Bryce that gives you one keypress changes to major views and one click access to all stored cameras, not Vue. Where's the ability to drag objects constrained to X or Y axis? In Bryce, not in Vue. Where's area rendering for spot-checking detail? In Bryce (two varieties) not Vue. And so on; I could continue at length. Bryce has a steeper learning curve, which is why many people never "get" it, whereas the Vue interface is more immediately accessible. But believe me, if you know how to get the best out of the Bryce interface, Vue handles like an old truck. Unresponsive and clumsy. But it GETS THINGS DONE IN THE END. That's why Bryce users switch. Even if Bryce is nicer to use, I can't any longer be waiting two hours for what Vue would render in under ten minutes.
