It could be done in bryce easy enough if the person knew what they were doing with the program. To be totally honest and coming from someone that is no expert with 3d images, that image looks like it was done in some painter program. My advice to you though jacko66 is don't go by others images, try both programs and see which one you prefer. Bryce as a couple of down falls but hey, its a damn great program to start on and if thats what you have pay nore visits here and ask questions, post your WIP(work in progress) and with the help of everyone on this forum you to could turn an image out like that.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
