I am remaining faith-less, as it were. I don't care what kind of features a program has, none of that crap is going to make me a penny unless I learn to apply myself better. Instead of focusing on what my software can and can't do (Bryce, Maya, Photoshop, Amorphium, Rhino, AfterEffects, PlantStudio, Riptide, a million plugins, etc.), I myself need to focus on streamlining my flow, finishing up a gallery/portfolio site, and making a demo reel. In the end, I'll still use Bryce to render my stills, and use Maya to animate, and PS and AE respectively for postwork. I hope nobody thought I was going to give up on Bryce and "switch" to Vue, that would be ridiculous. After what we just shelled out for Maya 6 Unlimited, I doubt I'll be buying anything, even food, for a long, long time!
