Blender have the benefit that Octane come free with it as far as I know
This is incorrect.
While there is a free stand alone version of octane that requires in internet connection(IIRC) and supports only one GPU. it does not come with a Blender installation.
Blender ships with Cycles(the complete version) and its realtime Veiwport engine EEVEE. There is also the AMD Radeon ProRender for Blender that is a separate install.
I have the these three engines installed but as animated filmmaker I use EEVEE almost exclusively and some time cycles for smoke& fire sims
There is also the free Luxcore engine for blender.
Bryce, like Carrara and hexagon is "necro-ware". Dead programs with no further development/updates and only exist because Daz makes the installers Available
Bryce is still a 32 bit brute force raytrace application built on the ancient code of Eric Wenger ,the french musician who created it.
