FIRST, if you REALLY want to DO something in Bryce and not only want to "play around" with it -> buy it! It is worth MUCH MORE than an "8 hours download time", and the developers deserve EVERY CENT for it. Secound, just because you do not understand a program at first sight, it does not necessarily mean that it is not basically easy to use. Third, with the bought version of Bryce comes a great printed manual, and if you have read it two or three times (I have mine in the bathroom for two years now, and each time I have "nothing else to do" there I am re-reading some lines!) you will think that Bryces' menus are supereasy and logical to use. And, last not least, four: The full version of Bryce does not have any time limit, you can take as much time as you want to play with it. Seriously: Did you think that all these great Bryce artworks that are shown here in Renderosity come from Artists or result from people playing with trial versions for 30 days...? If you want a program to work great for you, you have to spent time with it and time on it, and you have to love it and be patient with it, thats it, and it is that simple, and then it will work great. If you hate the programs you are working with you will never ever get anywhere with 3D computer graphics. This is how I found my way to Poser, Bryce, TrueSpace and PhotoPaint - I just love these programs! Sincerely, Sabine
