I use Bryce all the time. Almost all my bizcards are Bryce based.

I didn't have time to finish my first post lol and submitted it instead of clearing it out Doh!
I do a lot with Bryce... One day I will venture into learning how to do the models instead of just working with the objects.

I sometimes use Blender, and Bryce and I also have Micrografx Simply 3d (version 3) which although it's quite old now (it came out 1n 1998) it's still useful it produces quite professional looking results and has loads of pre-sets so is very easy to use. However Blender is probably the most powerful 3d modelling program I have. Of course one nice thing about Blender is it's free. http://www.blender.org/

Thanks for the replies everyone. Ok, well how well do you think 3D works on t-shirts? Do you think people would go for it as much as they do for 2D?

Well it's difficult to say really you can do all sorts of different designs with 3d so there's no reason one can't produce designs which look good and sell well on T-shirts with 3d software. That said I don't think rectangular images such as e.g. Bryce scenes works so well on T-shirts for the same reason photographs, and other rectangular artworks tend not to sell well on T-shirts. I wouldn't necessarily say rectangular images on T-shirts look totally unattractive and there isn't a market. However I suppose it looks a bit indifferent and boring as a T-shirt design and there are millions of other T-shirts with these rectangles called images on them so not easy to stand out in a sea of mind numbing similarity. (That's not to criticise anyone's work I might add. The images may be fantastic it's just that rectangular images don't present too well on T-shirts) That said however rectangular 3d renderings can look good on many other products. However using 3d to design T-shirts one is better off making designs composed of more irregular shaped objects and elements. However that applies to all T-shirt designs not just ones which utilise 3d software. Obviously it's possible to make saleable T-shirts with any design tool even a stick and a bucket of mud  There's no magic pill, anything can be pressed into the service of one's creativity and 3d software is as good as anything as a means to make saleable T-shirts

3d does sell, but it depends on the design of course. A large percentage of my designs originated in 3d and the only design that I've had sell on all 3 of my POD sites (Zazzle, Redbubble, Cafepress) I did completely in the Blender 3D engine (no post pro except for a background for non-apparel) <insert shameless self-plug here >  I find using a 3D program very very useful, but it is also as useful to know some Photoshop/Gimp and do some post pro. For example the following image is originally from a 3D render but I hit it with GIMP after.  sorry if I really do seem self-promoting, just trying to give some good examples to the OP questions.

You are right about the rectangles on t-shirts, Artberry. The way I get around that one is to create and render 3D designs against stark white backgrounds in Bryce and then use the ol' magic wand to remove the white. Also, I do use Bryce for cards and business cards as well, so the rectangle thing is not such a big deal.  One of my 3D designs that sells well is NUKE! He is a symbol of support for kids in Oncology and Radiology situations.
