I got the free download of Bryce 5 a while back (think you posted the link up!) not used it to be honest, ive also got world builder that was free on a 3d world mag, again not used it! I really need to concentrate on other things before moving onto an environment app! Will have a look though when I get some time for fun stuff.
Oh Modo's pretty cool BTW, very custamizable to your workflow and you can get it set up nicely if your used to the controls in maya, the paintings really good (like Z brush, which I thought it would be), well worth getting the free trial and the free videos to get you up and going, a bit of a pain without a tablet (same with Z brush).
Shame my trials run out!

I'm hoping to do a similar scratched up paint job on my project.

Wish I had the cash, in fairness all I really need is a tablet, then I can really get stuck into Z and texturing with it, grappeling with rigging at the moment and finding it to be great fun! although ive not started to paint weights yet, so I might have spoken too soon!Originally posted by Jay

Yep Will do.
On the tablet front, wacom have bought out a new tablet. Its an A6 size with 2000dpi, 512 levels of pressure etc. Its comes bundled with Mango Studio and Corel Painter, its only 75quid! I was thinking of investing in a new one myself. Just visit the wacom site for more blurb...
