Corel Bryce 5

> First off, I should note that Bryce 5 is Corel's first Mac OS
> X-native application. However, I'm reviewing it under Mac OS 9.0.4
> because, as with most applications running under OS X, there are
> still some limitations attributable to the OS itself that won't be
> worked out until the OS X 10.1 release due in September...
>
> All of this said, it should also be noted that Bryce 5 is Carbonized
> for OS X, meaning that you simply install the OS 9 version, which
> will then work natively in OS X as well without any further
> installation or hassles.
>
> At any rate, kudos to Corel for putting out an OS X version for what
> is right now a very limited subset of the Macintosh market...
>
> What it does
>  Bryce is a tool for creating terrestrial, atmospheric and
> astronomical features in 3D and rendering scenes either as still
> images or as QuickTime movies (including QuickTime VR). While it is
> possible to do some modeling with the primitives and new metaballs
> in Bryce 5, the program is geared much more heavily toward
> landscapes and seascapes than anything else...
>
> I see Bryce as a tremendous tool for creating mattes/backdrops for
> film or video work to be incorporated into either live action or
> animated pieces. I think it would be even better if it could be
> hosted from within other 3D packages (a la Poser) or gain better
> integration with other programs, but, as it stands, it's still quite
> a useful, professional-level tool.
