Hi I have tried Bryce and Vue...As for the Bryce 5 I thought the advance motion lab is good for animation work I know the rendering is a bit slow as compared to Vue. Is that the reason why you are buying Vue for?? If you don't might, you may also look at the next door New Mojoworld Generator 2.0 It can produce very good rendering too.. and the price is offer at US$199.00 too Regards Ed
