IMHO Bryce is a niche tool. Geared to a specific middle tier market. A professional production tool it is not. And the inability to export to other professional packages relegates it into this niche. It's cheap, fairly powerful and relatively easy to use. No you will not make any industry class feature films with it but that is not it's intent. Not many for profit outfits needing SW that can work in a collaborative environment will ever touch it for anything but pre-visualization purposes. A Maya, Electric Image, Softimage, Lightwave this is not. But for one off work and as a plaything it fits the bill. It is hard to find another product that does what Bryce does overall for the price. Bryce is notorious for it's snails pace renders. But if you are doing only one frame. Or fairly simple animations this is not that critical. Corel is not trying to compete with the pro packages. It has it's niche and is happy with that.
