I've been looking at Bryce again in depth. If all you want is to prototype paintings, as you say, and to get a 'base with atmosphere' for overpainting, then Bryce seems the way to go. Also, Bryce interfaces with DAZ Studio via a native bridge plugin, so you get access to all Poser/DAZ content in your runtime. Bryce 7.1's fast Preview render gives a somewhat painterly look, suitable for overpainting. It's no longer free, but only costs $20.

Bryce? Haven't used that in years, not since I've switched to Vue 10 years ago, leaving Bryce behind. Not planning on going back, wanted to move forward. I've still got my Vue 2014 license, just haven't installed it on my new machine yet. For now my main interest is something that's alive and doesn't need a subscription. Quadspinner's GAEA looks interesting and some of the game engines as well.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
