Well, yeah, Vue has certain things over Bryce, IMO. Such as the Solid Growth which is E-on Software's method of plant and tree creation. The plants and trees are not models, but rather varying algorithms. That means that if you "grow" say a maple tree for example, and then another one, the 2 will be different. Sometimes alot different, but still recognizable. That and Vue renders faster, and I, and alot of other people here, think the editors for skies, materials, terrains, etc are far more intuitive and easier to use than Bryce's. Also, if you're into Poser, Vue 4 will import Poser scene files, .pz3 and/or .pzz, meaning you don't have to apply textures or trans maps once imported, because they load with the models. Oh, and the 4 viewports in Vue 4, plus it also has a trackball. And of course, Corel doesn't own Vue. ;) It's all a matter of opinion, really. My own personal opinion, as someone who has Vue 3, Vue 4, AND Bryce 4, is that Vue 4 is by far much better in all respects. Like I said, that's just my opinion. it just so happens to be the opinion of thousands of others, too. :) Check the link. You can download a demo of Vue 4 and try it yourself. PC only for the demo (I think), but the Mac version of Vue 4 was just released.
