It is my understanding that Eric Wenger's new software is nothing like Bryce. . . .if I recall. . . EW described Bryce as a small stage polygon based application. His new app isn't polygon based so viewer distance doen't play a part in texture distortion. . . . . details are maintained throughout all ranges of distance. . . . .from micro to macro. I would guess that the code and algorithms used in this app are not related to those in Bryce by a long shot. . . . . Long live Sir Eric of the Mac Clan!! : )
