Bryce, Blender, Vue, Terragen, etc. ???
Need some user opinions
Sunday, January 22, 2006 by Lantec | Discussion: Customization Software
I'm looking to add a 3D program to my library. I need HELP!! Opinions, good or bad. Personal experiences. Learning curve....etc.
I've looked around and I'm confused as to which way to go. I see a lot of Bryce stuff I like but at their website it looks like you could spend $1000 on all the different add-ons.Blender looks comparable, but a bit less user friendly. Terrragen and Vue seem to be scenery only and much more expensive.
I don't know what add-ons are "required" or "can't live without" kind of stuff and if I need to spend that $1000. If that's the case I'll probably just purchase Photoshop.
I actually have AutoCad which does 3D but is time consuming and difficult to use.
What I'd like to be able to do is the Orbs, torus's and "space" type graphics. I don't want to do people or animals. I might eventually like to do some scenery stuff but that's secondary.
Thanks for any input/opinions you can give me.

When I bought this, it was $49.95, but Amazon can usually get you a better deal.
Hope you enjoy your Brycing!
