Well, I don't know about all this. I would stay away from saying that one app is "better" than another for landscapes - you get out what you put in. I agree that if you've only got 10 minutes then you can produce a better landscape in Terragen than in Bryce, but if you only have ten minutes then I suggest a quickie with the missus is more in order than attempting to produce art. I'm hoping that Bryce6 will give us easier access to landscape functions such as grass and snow, but if not it won't stop me from implementing them, it'll just take longer. It's pretty much the same with any 3d function (other than modelling) - most effects that can be done in high end apps can be done (or simulated) in Bryce with a bit of work. Having said all that, maybe it WOULD be interesting to have an inter-app challenge (of the friendly variety). Terragen vs Bryce - 1 month to produce the most convincing landscape in either app. At the end of the day, I suspect some people might be putting salt & pepper on their hats. ;)
