Vue 5i has boolean modeling and metablobs (all it's primatives can be used as metablobs) for modelling. Doesn't compare with lightwave but can be used with lightwave.
Bryce is very far behind even Vue Easel and $20 more expensive after the 6th of sept (who knows how much bryce 6 will be)
While vue can be slow, it can resume a stopped render even after you save and close the program. I just rendered some thing that took six days (bryce can't count as well a vue) which I only while not home or sleeping. It worked very well.
Bryce has a resume but I can only get it to work if I don't close or save. Kind of defeats the purpose.
In vegetation bryce doesn't really compare to vue at all. It can do trees but they tend to all have the same trunk shape and don't bend. You cannot created trees from scratch in vue (yet) but you can alter existing trees. Trees you buy from Cornucopia can be altered in Vue.
The ecosystems are wonderful..bryce chokes on 1/16 that many objects.
You have a lot more control and effects over rendering in Vue than in bryce.
And if you use poser stuff then go for vue...it supports the current version of poser...bryce does not, and probably never will.
