Here's the link to Tom Patterson's explaination on importing a 16 bit PGM into Bryce 5. His render of the Big Island at a HUGE scale with a Hi-Rez bitmap draped over the Terrain shows how incredibly great this can look.

Bryce 5 finally made the jump to allowing 4096 x 4096 DEMS- but where Bryce 5 really moves ahead of Vue here is support for importing USGS SDTS, USGS and Vistapro DEM's (a real confusion for many people- nice to support BOTH) as well as WCS (World Construction Set) files. (I HATE WCS- anyone want to buy my copy?) as well as PGM.

I read that E-On is considering supporting more architectual file imports- a great idea- but they really need to consider how BIG the GIS-Geographic,Cartographic market is in the U.S. It's a really HUGE market with U.S. States, Counties, Cities, the FEDS, the Military, Universities- AND all the Hikers, Bikers, etc with GPS systems- who are increasingly getting interested in making their own personal maps, etc- and you have a BIG and rapidly growing market that E-ON is missing out on.
