I learned with Bryce but I got increasingly frustrated with the material editor over time. When I came across Vue d'Esprit 3, I immediately got the material editor. The support of Poser figures in Vue d'esprit 4 closed the deal for me. I haven't used Bryce since (although I still have it... even upgraded to Bryce 5.5). I still miss the volumetric materials from Bryce.... slow but superior to Vue's volumetric materials. I hope e=on will do something about that soon. But that's about the only feature I miss from Bryce.
