OK - I have not fired up Bryce for a long time, but have kept up with the upgrades. I do a lot of printed matter though. If 300 dpi is the level of quality you want, you will find that 240 dpi will produce results so close your eye will not be able to tell the difference. That difference of 60 dpi can make a huge difference in file sizes and render times. Bryce's #1 quality in my humble oppinion is that it will sit quietly in the background rendering for days and you can do whatever on your computer without it crashing. The learning curve is probably the lowest for this type of software. Unless you have a good reason for something more capable its the right program to use. If your working up to something with higher end rendering capabilities, its still the best place to start. It will introduce you to most aspects of 3d rendering in a very friendly manner. All in all Bryce is a masterpiece and its most fortunate that DAZ saved it.
