Bryce is even better than Vue in terms of handling previews. Apart from the Vue-like updating preview, rendering a small part of the view is more handily done. In Vue you have to choose the menu option "select render area", then select it, then render, then clear it. With Bryce, as I recall, you just drag a rectangle and it renders (possibly with RMB or something - I don't remember exactly, but it's more direct than the Vue method).

Then there is the spray-on render preview, which at first I thought was just a gimmick, but then found very useful in being able to preview exactly the critical details of a scene.

Just by the way, it's conventional in other forums here to post a reason for locking a thread in the locked thread. Particularly if you are also deleting posts. Reading the thread as it stands, there is no reason apparent why it should have been closed.
