1. Interface 2. Poser Imports 3. Vegetations 5. Speed I don't think that I ever really got use to the Bryce interface while Vue seemed natural to me. The Poser import function in Vue 4 works pretty good with the updates (but I did hit a problem last night). The VUE vegetations are superb. Bryce 5 seems slower than Bryce 4. Vue is fast . . . The new Bryce tree generator is decent but not as nice as Vue vegetations. I did like the Bryce spraycan feature . . . I'm very pleased with the customer support for Vue. I had a problem that I thought was a Vue issue (it wasn't) and I got prompt responses to my e-mails. I've even received some follow up e-mails that I really appreciated . . . I haven't tried all of the Bryce 5 features (metaballs for example) - but I think that the upgrade is only mildly satisfying. The Vue upgrade (after the first patch) was really quite a nice improvement in the program . . .
