I dont mean to sound offensive here, but everytime E-on releases something new, suddenly lots of Vue people pop up from the woodwork, running around in the Bryce forum, telling us all how bad Bryce is, and that Vue is the best program in cosmos. And for some reason, every one of them seem to have pushed Bryces limit to the max... ;) Personally, i wasnt speaking of leaving Bryce, only to add it to the other tools i already have, and thats mainly because of the eco-system. I know that it has a limited use, and i wouldnt use it for city building, (lack of clone-control), but for some specific nature scenes i have in mind, it would make things a lot easier and faster. The rest is not that interesting. My world doesnt exactly rotate around GI, Radiosity or whatever, and if it would, i could use Cinema4D for that. :) I have also tried out Vue5, and while it has some great features, i still find that Bryce is far more suitable and more precise for boolean modeling and certain types of scenes, plus, Vue still lacks a good UI, which for me, is of great importance. Personal opinion, i dont expect anyone to share it, its how i feel.
