So, I see this has become a pissing contest. Vue has only recently begun to outpace Bryceit took them long enough not withstanding that Bryce has been neglected for several years. Before Vue 5, Vue was just another imitator. If you have deadlines to meet, then your art is your work, your bread and butter and you must find the shortest route to meet your deadlines to keep the cash flow going. Others here do it for sheer recreational enjoyment as a hobby so deadlines matter not and their art is a labor of love. A few bristles missing from your brush? You pull out your scissors and give the brush a slight trim and continue on. You can lock a chimp up in a room with two computers going, one with the most expensive 3D software and the other with the least expensiveif you dont have the talent and skill, you can use neither. If you cant afford the most expensive, then you cleverly compensate with what you have. There had been some awesome Bryce work exhibited long before Vue ever came into existence. Weve chugged along with Bryce a few years outputting excellent work, we can surely wait a little while longer to see how Bryce develops. Some of us dont have deadlines to meet so therefore, dont have a need to abandon ship.
