Bryce 4 is a lot like 5. If it weren't for the lack of the metaball based stuff and more advanced render options available - you'd probably not notice the difference. (Ok some will note that the editor menus have cosmetic differences.) Now how much has changed between 2 & 3, and 3 & 4, I dunno... I'm still using 4. I haven't seen the software at any of the computer stores around here. I suppose I could stop being lazy and try to get them to place an order. I've even seen Bryce5 installed on one of the new G5 Macs at a computer store I was browsing through. Dunno if that was one of the employees tinkering about in their spare time or part of the software bundle. Makes me wonder though. I fiddled with it for a bit. Seems those machines are fast, because the render finished in the time I browsed through the adjacent aisles.
