New and improved
Version 5.0 adds major new features and minor tweaks that make this a very worthy upgrade for users of previous versions. It would simply take too long to cover every feature of this program, but we'll take a look at some of the major functions and enhancements that appear in this latest release.
Rendering
As a whole, rendering has gained several improvements, including volume lighting, volume objects and volume blending for both altitude and distance from the camera. Camera features, such as depth of field, improve the photorealism of the render. And new shadow and light features, such as self-shadowing and light falloff, add to the options.

Volume blending and depth of field add to Bryce's render capabilities. |
But by far the most appreciated new rendering feature is network rendering, which allows Bryce's rendering client—Bryce Lightning—to aid in the rendering of still images or animation files across a network, including the Internet. All you have to do is run the client on a networked device (regardless of platform) and enter the client's IP address in the network rendering setup dialog. Each client can also be set to render tiles of a single frame so that even still images can benefit from additional processors.
