Well, I would recommend Vue for anyone, really. If she's new to 3D , then the Vue 4 interface might be a good place to start for yet another reason, and that is, most of the 3D modeling programs that aren't trying to be radical, and as far as I can tell, all of the pro 3D modelers have that 4 viewport interface. So it might be good for her in the long run, if she sticks with it, to get used to it now, from the beginning. I like Bryce and I actually like Bryc'es interface. There are a few things about it that bug me, but I love the trackball camera. Well, Vue 4 now has an optional trackball camera. :) Hope this helps!
