I don't have Bryce 5, so I can't describe any direct comparisons from Vue 4 to Bryce 5. I've got Bryce 4, however. First off, you should know you're in the Vue d'Esprit forum, so when you're asking questions about "best", "fastest", "easiest", I think you'll get responses choosing Vue, hands down. ;) Those kinds of questions are usually quite subjective. What is "best" for one kind of work might not be "best" for another kind of work. Because this question has come up many times recently (with the releases of Vue 4 and Bryce 5), you can probably get most questions answered by checking out a few of these previous threads. :) http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12368&Form.ShowMessage=351836 http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12368&Form.ShowMessage=345895 http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12368&Form.ShowMessage=344806 http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12368&Form.ShowMessage=342422
