Advantages: Good rendering engine

Disadvantages: Non-standard GUI

I have been using Bryce (and Kai) products for quite sometime. I usually import an object from another 3D modelling program (like Truespace) and render with the natural lighting and quick landscaping properties of Bryce. I've never used the animation facilities. The program works well and produces some remarkable results. The only downside really is the interface. It may look cool and Mac-like, but it is not a standard windows interface. I don't want to see 'don't save' on a pop-up dialogue box. I don't want to have to re-learn how to navigate the menu system. I definitely don't want properties which only appear when you hover the cursor over them. Every application (especially graphics apps) should conform with the OS GUI 100%. There learning curve is tough enough as it is without having added overhead. Well done Truespace. Naughty, naughty Bryce and Lightwave!
