Well, the reason there are 10 times more Bryce pics probably has more to do with the fact that Bryce has been around longer, and had a major software company behind it's development and distribution. E-on is a relatively young company, and Vue 3 has only been out for I think a little over a year, maybe a year and a half. Anyhow, I actually LOVE Bryce's interface. Especially that trackball camera--ESPECIALLY! I'm actually a little irritated with Vue's interface from time to time, but Vue 4 shows promise in that it seems to have fixed all the things I didn't like about it. Bryce 4 is one major ass-kickin' program, and don't beleive that many of us here don't know that. Having both Bryce and Vue installed currently though I have to say that I'm willing to forget about the trackball camera in favor of Vue for mostly it's ease in material editing, it's Solid Growth plants, and it's considerably quicker rendering speed. Bryce has had the volumetric effects over Vue for a while now, but Vue 4 does have volumetrics. I don't want to see this turn into a Vue/Bryce comparison thread though. Bryce is still way-cool in MY book!
