Quote - For me, the community behind Bryce is important.     I rarely run Bryce now, but I still check the forum each day to see what you guys are moaning abou and I still keep an eye on the gallery.   Maybe I'm sheltered, but do the "big" apps have that kind of community behind them that realise that Brycers are out to have fun, or are they just full of perfectionists that will take great pleasure in pointing out the tiniest of errors?

I dont think the bryce community is neccesarily more or less solid then some of the communities behind larger or more expensive apps. Its more a different atmosphere. On this forum we're more a family-like community where we dont mind talking about off-topic things.
Some communities with larger apps or more professionals in them do have this perfectionist nature which you talk about, but i dont think thats a bad thing per sé. The way some threads have people nitpicking about the tiniest errors in meshes are extremely educative and often times the person making the artwork that gets critisized becomes inspired to really push him or herself to go that extra mile. It can be extremely educative and a serious boost to grow and increase skills. I dont think such nitpicking would be accepted within a community if there isnt a similar level of respect and the feeling of being a real part of a group of artists.
