Hey hey, been trawling through old CDs and other back-up files, thought this might amuse folks......attached are three versions of the same Bryce file, rendered with 3 different versions of Bryce since at least 1999.....in Bryce 3D I had to simulate soft shadows with an array of 20 lights.....by the time Bryce 5 came around it had soft shadows built in and now added depth of field....now with Bryce 6 we have all of the above plus HDRI!

I had a Bryce 2 version somewhere but it's got lost what with 6 house moves (don't ever get a job in the British Home Office) and 3 PCs since 1997!

My self-build system - Vista 64 on a Kingston 240GB SSD, Asus P5Q Pro MB, Quad 6600 CPU, 8 Gb Geil Black Dragon Ram, CoolerMaster HAF932 full tower chassis, EVGA Geforce GTX 750Ti Superclocked 2 Gb, Coolermaster V8 CPU aircooler, Enermax 600W Modular PSU, 240Gb SSD, 2Tb HDD storage, 28" LCD monitor, and more red LEDs than a grown man really needs.....I built it in 2008 and can't afford a new one, yet.....!

My Software - Poser Pro 2012, Photoshop, Bryce 6 and Borderlands......"Catch a  r--i---d-----e-----!"

How nice to see this. I can remember those dreadful light-domes with hundreds of multireplicated radials with the light intensity set to 1 or 2 i think . They took forever to render but the soft shadows looked very beautiful :)  Heya Bryce :)

Nice comparison of Bryces, but be careful. I got slapped over the knuckles for using a 'Robbie the Robot' model in an image as it is a copyright design owned along with the Forbidden Planet movie by the Time Warner Entertainment Company...
