Well, I remember a couple of years ago, I saw this picture on the web of a bridge high up between 2 mountain tops, with a river underneath, vegetation and stuff... It was realistic , but not quite real, had vegetation it was a great picture... It was at a 3d gallery... Below it said that this was done with Bryce... I wanted to do pictures like that...:) I still dig Bryce... Bryce got me into the whole 3d thing and allowed me to do a lot of stuff... I got into all aspects of it, so I don't think that there's anything wrong with the interface, or the deep texture editor... But then again, I come from an audio background, where I have to edit wav files, and keep track of numbers, and process this and that, do a lot of number crunching, so anything with pictures is a real treat... :) Then I found about Vue recently and yes, there are a lot of things about Vue that are better than Bryce and vice versa... Certainly, vue is easier in many respects and less cumbersome... Also, it has a certain quality that Bryce doesn't have... I look forward to the new Vue cause it seems to have a lot of the things vue is missing, for my tastes anyway...
