Hi silverblade33.  It is great to see that you are still a Bryce fan. 

Yeah, Cararra is pretty darned cool, especially the Pro version, but I love coming back to Bryce.  I recently downloaded the free 5.5 version so that I could animate materials again.

If Bryce NEVER gets another update, I will still use it and love it.  It is hard to beat for the price.  Especially the free version.

Did I mention there was a FREE version.

I really hate to hear people bad mouthing Bryce.  It makes me crazy fighting mad.

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms!!
