I guess it all boils down to like what rochr, AS etc actually showed. that it'not just how easy the application isit's also how YOU use it to create images. Yeah sure, I won't argue that Maya, studio max, alias etc are way up there (i just tried converting .max into 3ds in studio max and I died) and bryce is way down there... but if you can create fascinating images like they can, using bryce, and a bit of postwork in photoshop, i don't see why we have to put it down as a beginner's application.

Make the best out of its simplicity.that's what it is all about

Yup...though yes, I'm afraid of bryce's future. How long will it last? especially with it pitted against all the other apps. Will it profit Daz to keep it alive? or will everyone go straight in for the other apps?

I'll die a brycer... I don't mind learning cararra or vue, but bryce has it's own charm
