AS, Theres a lot of good freeware renderers, such as Yafray, 3Delight, Aqsis etc which can already render out scenes for numerous programs in the form of plugins. But for Bryce, i think the crucial part would be to have a renderer that is very easy to use. Right now, Maxwell isnt there just yet, but its still in the development stages. Once theyve cleaned up the software and its working as its supposed to, it will be almost as easy as rendering something in Bryce. Youll pretty much only need to select a physical sky, the timeframe you want, and press render.
