I've been using Vue for over two years, and I only began with version 2, so Vue has been around for awhile. My guess on why there are more Brycers here is because R'osity was originally set up as a Poser group, and way back when, a couple Poser users discovered Bryce and passed that news along to other Poser users. It became nearly synoymous to say "I use Poser" also meaning "I use Bryce." It also had some to do with MetaCreations housing both Poser and Bryce. They also had Ray Dream, but RDS was touted as a "modeler" while Bryce was the "landscape generator" -- the latter of which most Poser users were anxious for. Althought both Vue and Bryce are reasonably priced, there are a lot of folks who consider $200-$250 to be a major investment. I think most of those persons will stick with Bryce simply because they've already been working with it and don't feel they can afford two programs. I have both programs, but for me, Bryce's interface is confusing. There's no right-click for anything, I don't remember seeing any tool-tips, and almost none of the icons are marked. I can't use Bryce without having the manual open, and even then I can't really do anything with it, like actually make a picture. I don't like having to memorize each and every icon and then trying to remember them again for later use. Maybe because I'm old and senile, but I'd prefer to have some tool-tip reminders or some right-click options in order to have some clues right at hand. All that aside, I'm not against Bryce. Like AgentSmith said above, it's not the tool that makes the art, it's what the artist does with it. If you have a vision to follow, just keep following it, and it doesn't matter if you're using Bryce or Vue or Poser or Maya or pencil and paper. You will get closer to your original version if you're comfortable with the tools you're using, though, and I'm just very comfortable using Vue. :)
