Time is important, so to keep it simple, I'd rather work a little extra, make extra money, and purchase higher end software.

After using Bryce for years, I guess you reach a zenith and the urge that got me here in the first place and it beckons me to advance and explore. I can create a wide variety of desired artwork with what I have now, though it's time to take another step.(which I'm in the process of saving for)

The trade off in time?........there are limits, thens it's time to re-assess to satisfy the creative critter inside.

Nice work BTW!!
