HI, I'm writing a paper for school on 3D animation software. I am comparing 3DS Max, Bryce, Lightwave, Maya and Poser as the top five programs. One comparison issue I'm using is rendering method (ie: gourad, phong, ray tracing, radiosity, etc...) Can someone tell me what method Bryce uses? Thanks in advance.

Ray Tracing

Bryce and Lightwave are Raytracers. Poser is Phong or lower than that.I know that 3DS used to be phong only but I think that there are raytracing plugins. They might have incorperated it in the program. One of my favorite rederers particularly for animation is Renderman but there is no longer any support for it on the consumer level. A few years back there were a coupld cool mac programs that used Renderman. I know they make plug ins for it for Maya and Softimage.
