If I can add my two cents.

I think its already been said but worth saying again. You just can't beat Bryce's interface. I would also add that Bryce has one of the easiest tutorials to follow. Step by step it will walk you through building a simple model while teaching you the interface at the same time.

And as you already found this community of Brycers. You will find that it can be one of the best resource of all for a new beginner.
