Bryce is acting like a politician. You can never get a clear-cut answer. I read and reread this post and I'm confused. Shouldn't 5.5 be the clear winner? Or at the very least, its renders should be much better. PJF's difference check pretty much confirms NO difference between the two. So, what is 5.5 really offering. Not render speed or quality that's for sure. And if its not offering that (the most sought after features) DAZ should rename Bryce 5.5 to Bryce 5.05. Don't try and dazzle me with new revamped features and promises of faster renders when they don't exist and then try to sell me some 3D pack at $8 cheaper and package it as a special offer. I'm in advertising, I spin this kinda BS everyday for all kinds of products. The truth is in the pudding people. Don't believe the hype. I encourage more testing but so far I'm not impressed.
