Greetings. I've been out of the online community for a while and just popped in for a moment when I saw this post. And so I will offer my ho. Bryce and Vue are 'different', in the way they work, in their final output and in many other respects. They are both good at what they do. But they are just tools. Whether one is better than the other depends upon what YOU, the visionary needs to convey your image. I use both for different things. I especially love combining the two....Vue for backgrounds and Bryce for foregrounds. You can composite, of course, or put your Vue scene on a symmetrical lattice in Bryce. Either way, you can bend them to your will. I love my Bryce....but I wouldn't trade Vue for the world. Yours......Monsoon
