Bryce is two things. A ray-tracer renderer and a terrain generator. Both of which were unusual and cool when the product still said "Metacreations" on the box.

Expecting Poser to generate landscapes is ludicrous. Moogal: When I asked Larry three years ago why collision detection couldn't be the basis of conforming clothing, he pointed out that the original legacy P4 clothing were solid, closed objects, and I think where he was going was dropping the entire conforming clothing model (hinged bodysuits scripted to mimic parent motion) altogether. Also remember that the Macs and PCs of the P3/early P4 era would have taken ages to calculate collisions -- the algorithms were always out there, but the computing power was not ubiquitous yet.
