I've no doubt a few small independants will make stuff with Bryce, which may well be bought up cheaply by content hungry minor TV channels. However, that is a long way from being 'most new animations for TV' as proclaimed by Gear above.

If an independant producer is making movies in order to finance food for her/his table, then speed is going to be very important indeed to her/him. Any profit making movie producer will tell you that the biggest cost of all is time/labour. For only about double the cost of Bryce, you can buy a program like Inspire or Animation Master. These are much better featured programs, and render ten times faster. At around ten times the cost of Bryce, are programs already used in mainstream TV CGI studios. Ten times the cost of Bryce may be expensive for consumers, but it's a tiny amount even in independant commercial movie making circles. As much as I love my Bryce, I'm not going to delude myself that it's anywhere near a professional CGI animation tool, except in rare circumstances. I certainly wouldn't make an association of its output to 'trash'. ;-) As for Poser, things are slightly different. I too have seen many advertisments (stills) using the figures. They've almost always been rendered in another program. As a quick route to simple characters in simple poses, Poser makes an ideal and incredibly cheap tool in any CGI pro's studio. The limitations of the render engine make it unsuitable for high quality animation work (although the painterly filters could be very useful). If a plugin to make Poser animations work in a program like 3DStudio Max comes out, use of the program amongst pro animators will probably increase dramatically.
