What's special bout Bryce?
Wednesday, November 20, 2002 by @shu | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I can't seem to understand what is so special about Bryce? I use POVRay, a freeware to render my WP's and it works just fine. Maybe I would like it if I could try it out, but it seems that there is no demo or shareware version of Bryce.
Well whatever!!!!

I have a number of those 'older' proggies as stuff given out with Mag CDs. They were/are a good way to evaluate the worthiness of a proggy for 'your' particular needs....if they're good, you usually get some deal on an upgrade to the current version and a bit more functionality.
Bryce was one of those...and I decided it wasn't for me, as I'd probably abuse its 'stupidity-factor' [point and click and it makes you the art, but not the artist], as so many people seem to do.
I'm such a traditionalist with the graphic medium that even digital work is still essentially done on a single layer, pushing pixels, just like smoothing conte...

Yeh, I hear a whole lot of 'blah-blah' going on here....
I also hear a major 'snob' factor being diplayed....

If Bryce has some snob value attached to it, it must mean that it really offers frills that nobody uses anyway, kinda like the ciggarete lighter that also acts as a mobile missile launcher in Bond movies...

I released 2 wallpapers using Bryce, but i not used more this program, for the same reasons explained above by Jafo.
I not use a lot Blender, i don't like their interface. I use commercial apps when i wish to create 3D graphics, Hash and Truespace.
BTW, 3d are not my speciallity. Dangerouss and Essorant are very expert on 3D.
About Blender, one month ago a foundation purchased their code, and made the sources available. A developer is trying to make a new interface (more according to modern interfaces, i hope).

ashu, Bryce can't have any 'snob value' if the clown who keeps promoting it is anything to go by!

Carlitus: Yes, I remember your wallpapers and your comments about it 
At that time you made a very serious point! I have to agree with you and Jafo. I tried blender, but indeed, stopped when it became too complex with all the windows on the screen. I will have a look at Hash and Truespace then. But actually, it is much more fun creating it by yourself 
Thank you for your input Carlitus

So, there is a demo, but not at the Corel site, and if you purchase the software from this site, it will cost you an extra $100. Buyer beware! There doesn't seem to be a link for the XP download...... is the software really different for each OS?

Corel used to have the Demo up, and it was up not less than 2 weeks ago. As far as cost, the most expensive place I have found to buy it is Corels web site, unless they just dropped the price and I didn't notice. There is no differance in the downloads, I don't know why they have it broken up. There is only one demo download as far as I know. I have been running Bryce 5 under XP for over a year without a single problem.

if it doesn't have a step by step(by the numbers) guide and a ton of tutorials, I'd be lost.

To create 3D graphics, there's Blender3D, completely free!
BTW, i obtained my copy of Bryce 2 free (it comes with a spanish computer magazine) 3 years (of 4, i not remind well), when was released Bryce 3D, just before the purchase of the program by Corel. I obtained wuth this system (inside the same magazine) Painter 3 and Poser 2
