Hello folks! I downloaded the Bryce 5 patch today. It is found on the following link ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/Bryce/5.0.1/win/ My question is: has anyone found out the approvals yet? The readme file says that among others there are fixes for the Tree Lab, Light Lab, Terrain Editor a s o. I haven't tested yet but I'm curious about the render time. Anyone who knows? - Zoot

Groovy. How did you find this? I saw NOTHING on the Corel site about it, but Cute picked the FTP off my clipboard just fine. I am not sure this is official yet LOL.

They're the official patches but no offical release yet. You stumbled across this before you were supposed to. But hey I dl'ed them already and so be it. Oh and I think they meant to name the second update Lighting and not Lightning right?

Hey Quik, I saw the same thing it looked official too me but then again I was drinkin' a few Coronas. I hope they speed the render time. I put together a new server with two 1 gig athlons and a gig of memory and that bad boy still takes a long time to render. I remember sitting there thinking, "Yeah this'll take fives mintues." Oops I was wrong it took 7 hours to render an animation and that animation was 800 megs. My jaw dropped.

the other patch is lightning because its for network rendering... Lightning fast I guess is what they mean by it...yea right :)

Subjective analysis: The patch GREATLY improves performance of the wizards, but render times don't seem much improved (but I am using a tiny processor so it may not show no matter what they did to it, S). Also I couldn't swear to it but it looks like some new skies and stuff in there also...

I downloaded and applied the 5.01 patch from the Corel FTP site, but now all my preset names are missing from the materials, objects and sky labs. The items are there, but you can't see any names or descriptions-- see attached jpeg. Anybody else have this happen?

JWB: I had no problem with the Objects, Materials or Skies presets. But what I did was that I saved all my presets before I installed the patch and after the patch was installed I copied all my presets back again. Otherwise I found the patch to work well. - Zoot

To JWB I installed the 5.01 update and everything seems complete and works fine.Sounds like yer puter burped. God, I hate when that happens. S.

Thanks for input, folks. It's a mystery-- the names magicaly restored themselves for a couple of Bryce sessions, then just as magically disappeared again. Maybe I will save them and reimport to see if that does the trick on a more permanent basis. JWB
