Can't find the "Generate Original Space Image" button on my copy of Bryce5. :^D We gripe (well, I do) about how hard it is to model and get decent renders in Bryce, and these guys think all we have to do is push a button. :^D They should try using Bryce so they'll be able to say something intelligent about what it can or can't do. I would never say how easy it is to use Maya or Lightwave, for example, because I can't afford them, so I've never used them, and therefore have no knowledge base from which to judge them. But I do have to assume there's something about them that's worth thousands of dollars. And people using everything that Maya or Lightwave have to offer would feel handicapped if one of us did the same with Bryce? How can Bryce be a cheap low-end program and have capabilities that the high-end users fear would put them at a disadvantage at the same time?? Sheesh. I made my latest image in 3 days, but it took me 16+ cumulative hours to build the model and render. Maybe I'm a bit slow, LOL, but all I can make in a couple of hours is a reflective sphere over water. :^) John
