Thanks for your assistance everyone. I got it to work with a little messing around with the alpha layer in Combustion. "With Bryce 6.0 I want them to have an option to set that will automatically render a multitude of extra items in the buffer, along with the normal render." Yeah, I have that PSD Manager plugin for Max, and it's extremely time-saving! Max was always able to render out to elements, but that little program really saves time putting them all together afterwards. This would be a HUGE addition to Bryce! In fact, it would put Bryce at the TOP of the list for serious postwork professionals, since no other mid-range rendering software I know of has this ability. That feature would make color correction and postwork 10x easier and give the artist 10x more control over the final image. But please... make it available for animation as well. Perhaps the ability to save the animation to layers in After Effects format would be the best. 3dsMax can output it's layers directly to Combustion format for instance, but they OWN Combustion, so I don't know if there's any licensing restrictions that go along with having a feature like that.
