What would you compare it to? Bryce? Vue? Zbrush?

I have it.  but I don't have full version of Vue and don't have ZBrush, so can't give you a meaningful comparison.

Perhaps Groboto is best described as an application which generates forms and meshes for you.  You don't need to directly create each line or surface.  It has algorithms which work once you have defined the starting conditions.

Very specific kinds of meshes... not just anything you can think of.

I was also curious about Groboto. It seems to be useful if you want to create Yog-Sothoth-y kind of critters, can it do anything else?

Is there any online demo's available. I'd like to see what you're talking about with the generating meshes stuff.

Do a search in the gallery for Ehsana, I believe this artist uses groboto extensively in his/her renders..

I've fiddled around in it a little.  The renderer is pretty minimal, so importing your objects into something like Vue will improve your experience greatly. 

This was a quick doodle I did a few months ago.  It would have really gotten addictive for me (I used to be a Bryce abstract junkie) but I got sucked back into Poser.

I never figured out how to do any good abstracts in Bryce. I'm mathematically challenged.

That's what I needed to see. Thanks Tori!

These look like fractal objects, similar to the stuff you can make with the XenoDream freeware if you like to spend your time on that sort of thing.
