Err...This can be a stupid question, but what are these metaballs? And can I replace them with something that I can create in, for example, Rhino? This "Throwing the focus out", mentioned by Alleycat... Is it same kind of effect as I could do in Photopaint by selecting backround and adding some blur? How are the exporting abilities in Bryce 5? What are these UI changes? And finally...How much does it cost? As live, not in the MetaCreations web page. Sincerelly, Chaos. P.S. I'd like to thank ou all for the information you have given to me and also from the information I will be getting :)
