Bryce 5.5: The Right Tool for the Job?

And there's your final image. From here, I can do whatever with it. Not bad for a 3-ingredient image: water plane, terrain and sky.

We have barely touched on half of what Bryce can do, but this simple project has given us a good idea of how to begin. Bryce is basically a drag-and-drop interface with interactive menu tools that respond to dragging on them. You can be as nitpicky as you want with the details of light and camera angles, and besides sunlight, there are a lot of lighting effects that can be added as well.

With this introduction to the basic tools under our belt, we look forward to discovering the rest through experimentation.
