It mostly depends. Bryce definitely has its positives as well as its negatives. Up until Br 5, it had a lot more primitives, making for easier boolean creations. I also loved the ability and adaptability to use Photoshop filters within the Material Lab, for instance, and to save to Photoshop files. Those two things, especially, are something I still miss in Vue. And as was said earlier, the amount of materials was a huge plus. Vue still doesn't have the support (or the marketing, at least) here at R'osity that Bryce does when it comes to materials... and that's a shame. But for me, the main reason I went to Vue (with a little trepidation, since I had become so used to Bryce's interface, material editors-- and plus, I had a lot of Bryce-specific objects which can't be exported) was the import of PZ3 files that looked good. Bryce's obj import helped with my work, but making obj's just caused problems. For starters, that added twice as much space to my poser directory to save a scene as a PZ3 for later tweaking and then export as an OBJ. And then, on top of that, when I imported, there was always the (sometimes painstaking) pointing out of where each and every texture was in a Poser textures folder that has something like a gigs-worth of subfolders. And then on top of THAT, there was the (often just as painstaking) application of transparency and sometimes bump maps to my imported objects. And sometimes tweaking the colors of them to look the way I had them looking in Poser when I first exported (I still never quite got skin tones to look good without a lot of light tweaking which sometimes ruined the tone of the picture I was going for). Heck, if it wasn't for Grouper, I probably would've considered giving up 3d art a while back. I'm glad I got Vue. It'll cut down on my work more than 50% when it comes to doing the work I plan on doing with it. But I can understand people who stand by Bryce 100%, because I used to be one of them. AF
