It disturbs me a bit when I hear that so many people use Bryce just for 'playing around'. I get the feeling that Bryce will forever be stuck in the 'toy' category, never reaching its true potential. It seems that even Corel has no idea of what they have and don't seem to take Bryce very seriously. And what they have is a 3D program that, with a bit of serious effort put into it, could become the greatest, most productive 3D program in the world. I've tried out no less than 4 hi-end 3D programs so far, and compared to Bryce they all feel like a nightmare to use, even to accomplish the simplest tasks. If Bryce had some polished hi-end features, such as radiosity, better shadowing, bevels, and displacement mapping, it could compete with the best. And it could be much more than just a cute terrain generator. What do you all think?
