Hi Frank,
I appreciate that X3D is not in the same league as a dedicated 3D applications, simply being that it was never meant to be.
I just want to know if someone like myself would find a transition to using such applications easy with my X3D know-how. I downloaded Bryce a few months ago, as I do have desires to attempt serious 3D but fear of having to spend long hours just learning the basics has prevented my opening the program since I first looked at it.
I never suggested comparing X3d with these applications but I only wanted to know more from someone like yourself, who is familiar with both.
