I am pleased to announce that Bryce 5 users could soon have new rendering abilities. This is thanks to the soon to be released rendering product called PRO-RENDER. PRO-RENDER is nearing completion, and will be submitted to Renderosity and other online stores for testing soon. All being well, the expected release date for PRO-RENDER is August 2004. Here's the specification of PRO-RENDER at the moment: GI (Global Illumination) - Light your scene without the need for lights. EBI (Environment Based Illumination) - Light your scene using a Bryce environment as a light source. IBI (Image Based Illumination) - Light your scene using a backdrop as a light source. Adjustable quality setting (1-5) - Quality from low (fast) to high (slow). The price of PRO-RENDER has not been decided at this moment, and I am open to suggestions as to what price the product should be given. I would like any reader of this message to post a reply suggesting a price for PRO-RENDER. This is VERY important to me. If you decide to make a price suggestion, I would like you to please bear in mind that pumeco was set up to develop 3D products as my ONLY source of income. If the prices suggested are too low to sustain an income, I simply won't be able to develop further products, or even worse, won't be able to finish PRO-RENDER. So please quote the HIGHEST price you would expect to pay for a product such as PRO-RENDER. I will note every suggestion with great consideration. Also, please post any comments, questions or suggestions about PRO-RENDER, I don't mind if it's serious tech-talk or just to make conversation, go ahead and post! And finally, I would just like to say that I am working on some example renders produced using Bryce 5 with PRO-RENDER, and I will post them here as soon as possible.

The wait can be horrific, but the outcome can be worse - pumeco 2006
