Interface slower? Less reliable? The Interface? Okay... I now have Bryce 5 and have noticed no difference in the interface at all(but, maybe that's just me). The program renders about 8% slower (again, for me) but, that's about it in the "this kinda blows" catagory. The advances in B4 to B5 actually are big ones, they're just not the ones the fans of Bryce TRULY wanted, lol. Especially for a "landscape" program, a Tree Lab is an awesome advance. With practice it can do similar things that say, Onyx Tree Pro ($500) can do. B5 also has : Increase-able Internal Reflections (TIR), & Ray Depth, True Ambience, Soft Shadows, Blurry Reflections & Transmissions, and D.O.F. Blurring!...all with variable Rays Per Pixel, not to mention Metaballs...I mean, these are all big things in the world of 3D software. I don't really think fans of Bryce will embrace/forgive Corel until they get...Poser file(pz3)import capability, True 3D file export, Plug-in support, and true radiosity. (at least, lol) But, I gotta admit, I too would love to have any of those capabilities in Bryce, who wouldn't? Kind of a shame, some are down on Corel, I don't think it's that bad of a company. `Course all I use from them is Bryce, so that opinion is a fairly limited one. But, without Corel we would all still be using B4, with no other choice. Yeah, so Corel doesn't talk to us like Curious Labs does, ah well, watcha gonna do? They've been a BIG company for quite a while and that's how they seem to handle things. Keep talking to them, someday they gotta talk back to us, lol. Here's hoping they make half as good of an impression with Bryce 6 as Curious Labs is doing with Poser 5...
