Tools do matter, but regardless of what anyone sais, they dont replace skill, talent, creativity or knowing your tool. They can help, but not replace. Period! This is something even the best artists in the CG industry is aware of and agree upon. Pay a visit to CGtalk and ask around. They will repeat what ive just said. Hell, ive seen people creating photoreal images with charchoal pencils, and theyre pretty outdated as well. As for massive scenes, ive cranked out scenes with around 350 million polys, with high res textures, in Bryce, on a home PC, and it worked perfectly. I would say thats pretty impressive for an "outdated" app. No one is saying that Bryce is the best tool around. But for most people here, it works and it works well, and they use it for different reasons. Thats something you will have to accept, whether you like it or not. And no offence, Wolf359 and Analog-X, unless you have some pretty impressive Bryce images to show up here, youre hardly qualified to bitch about Bryces abilities as a tool.
