I am making this point that Tgen is still free. Bryce will carry a decent size price tag. You could purchase a Digital camara, a 27 inch color TV, DVD player,and other nifty toys for the price of the software. Right now it seems the SW is only giving you features that encourage you to spend more money, SMP, Netwrok rendering. To take advantage of that well how mwny multi processor MAC's are there? How many Mac's support Network rendering on a IP network? I used this comparison to open debate on whether this release that they have used hollywood tactics to launch will be really wrth the entrance price or really more ho and hum. Radiosity and caustics? Well no official source has made mention of it as a matter of fact the lighting tool panel shows nothing for radiosity settings nore caustics. The material editor is even a bigger secret. But seeing that they pertty much kept the rest of the panels the same I do not expect grand changes there either. So it is a wait and see. But with a ship date of july It certainly is strange that the details of this SW are not completely available by now. Corel is certainly not doing it's self a favor.
