">I mean, sheesh, how long would it take to animate something like this by hand? Consider that, and then tell me the render engine in Bryce is hopelessly slow."< ---------------------------------------------------------------- Vitualsite:I was a bryce "evangelist" back in version2 before it could animate and i own the DVD of infinity's child" the incredible 40 minute fantasy film created in bryce4 and rendered on a massive farm of intel machines.I still use bryce for creating a library of animated sky movies to map onto background objects in cinema4DXl because cinema's "Sky generator" frankly Sucks!! Bryce5 can simulate pouring liquids by attaching metaballs to a curved path and animating them flowing along the Path, I tried this in bryce and it took 14 hours!! for about 4 seconds of liquid flow!!with NO anti-aliasing!! fortunately i was in OSX and could do other things during those 14 hours. try it yourself if you like This liquid flow( see link) was renderd in an hour and 15 minutes in cinema4DXl with anti-aliasing and the quality is as good as Bryce So yes for ME and my current needs at least, bryce is too slow.
