I use Maya too.
Maya fucking FLIES open on a single 733 G4 w/512, meanwhile my Athlon 1700+ w/768 takes 30+ seconds.
I use Bryce for scenes not involving organic shapes (people, plants, etc) 'cuz Bryce takes forever and a day to render organic shapes (9+, refectives, and Super AA takes 11 hours on the 1700+)
