I love bryce, I love Brycers and the forum is much more helpful and friendly.
But life is too short to wait for the CPU crushing renders. As the last Bryce Glass Challenge showed.
If Bryce was as quick as Carrara, even without the wodnerful Carrara lighting, I'd still use it. For me, speed is the issue. 18 days to render something I could do in Carrara in 5 hours. Yup, 18 days! I stopped it and turned off DOF and cut it down to 18 hours.
Carrara - 1.5 hours
Bryce - 18 hours
Gotta say though, if you know Bryce, the learning curve to Carrara is really quick and painless.
It has a very similar feel.
