I want to know why any object I create at ANY time of the animation, has to show since the beginning? How can I "fix" this?

I'm not where I can try it, but how about hiding it, then making it visible?

you can't actually do that.... Bryce doesn't let you animate the "hidden" property. Wouldn't that be nice? Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the Bryce animation engine, and really needs to be fixed in version 5. Here's the only solution I've found: when you want to "hide" an object, move it way off screen. Next, in the Advanced Motion Lab, set it for an immediate transition time, which looks like a vertical line. That's about as good as it gets.
