I thought Bryce was aimed at non-pros, hence the nice price point. ;) I dunno. Renders in other programs always seem plasticine and flat. Bryce just has a nice quality to it, although Vue is getting to be almost as good, render wise, and their vegetation tools definitely outstrip Bryce any day. 1) Would be nice to have the option to set a global/default ambience setting. If there is one already, I can't find it. 2) Vegetation. Vegetation. Vegetation. 3) Basic in-program painting tools. 4) Wave/Ocean lab. 5) Weather lab.
