Version 3 of the Bryce 3D Modeler:

Version 3 of the Bryce 3D Modeler:

> Not content with the capabilities of its already impressive terrain
> generator, MetaCreations has added an assortment of tools and
> features to the latest version of Bryce. (Not content with the name
> either, the company is now calling it Bryce 3D, which is somewhat
> puzzling since the program has always produced 3-D scenes.) The new
> version gives you more control over the appearance of clouds, water,
> and material textures and, most notably, lets you animate the scenes
> you create. The additional controls, plus a greatly enhanced manual,
> make Bryce 3D even more pleasurable to use.
>
> In case you're not familiar with Bryce (and don't have a copy of
> Macworld's [August 1996 review of Bryce 2][1] handy), this Power
> Mac-only program lets you create fanciful or realistic landscapes in
> 3-D space. You can import DXF, 3DMF, and OBJ objects into Bryce
> landscapes; use preset terrains, water, skies, textures, and Boolean
> objects; or customize the preset elements in one of the program's
> many editing environments.
