I started with bryce. used poser some but not to a huge extent.

I disagree on some level. True some people can click a few times and make okay images, that most peopel would think was fine. But i used bryce for a long time before moving to something else. and i still use it.

Making scenery in bryce is simple... making an object is a lot harder, ive made everything from simple docks, piers, and stuff to complex robots and mechas, guns, everything.

Making something is easy. making something unique and stretching all of its abilities ou should still get credit for. It takes a lot of thought out, careful planning, placement, texturing, and time to get it just right.
