Bryce will render Panoramic images with 360? (horizontal) field of view. The verticle field of view is more like 115?. A "fisheye" is approx 16 - 8 mm (80 to 180 field of view). A 180? image is also a "hemespheric" image (1/2 of a full sphere). Fisheye images and Panoramas are well-covered by Helmut Dersch with his freeware PanoTools (Java,Windose,Mac) at: http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/ There are many, many tuts & links to various aspects of imageing & conversions from one focal length to another, rectiliniar to perspective, distortion correcrtions etc. It is a lot of stuff to read through & there is a learning curve to it but well worthwhile. Another quick fisheye creator (for MAC) is DeFish at: http://www.iqtvra.org/DeFish/index.html Apple also has some utilities for makeing panos (Windows & Mac) at: http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/quicktimeintro/tools/
