			For over a decade, artists of all mediums–print, video, multimedia or the web–have known Bryce, the affordable 3D software for achieving breathtakingly realistic imagery. The latest incarnation, Bryce 6, will give those artists along with the new generation of creators the ability to work faster and create more realistic environments than ever before. Whether you are a professional designer, or a 3D graphics enthusiast, Bryce 6 provides you with the tools to literally create a world of your own. Make your scenes more realistic by combining imported animations with your Bryce 6 scenes to create seamless productions of environments populated with human figures, animals and other characters. With improved support of animations created in DAZ|Studio software, included free with Bryce 6, you can place your characters directly into your Bryce 6 scenes and have them walk and talk right before your very eyes. Choose at what point you want the imported animations to begin, with the freedom to go back to DAZ|Studio to make any necessary adjustments to make them perfect. Then simply re-import those animations back into your Bryce 6 scene. Bryce 6 is the ideal 3D software addition to your image editing toolbox. Now it is easier than ever to add artwork created in Bryce in conjunction with common image editing programs to merge photos and 3D artwork for an unlimited degree of creativity. For inspiration, take a look at the artwork hosted in the Bryce Gallery on the DAZ 3D website. There you'll find works created using nothing but Bryce, as well as many images where Bryce 3D elements such as terrains, skies, water, trees, models and more were combined with non-3D elements using photographic elements and layers in other applications to achieve the final artwork. Bryce 6 gives you the freedom to add realistic 3D environments to your existing workflow without the headache often associated with learning new tools. What's new in Bryce 6: Add the vibrancy and realism of lighting sources captured from the real world in High Dynamic Range Images to your renders via the new IBL menu inside the Sky Lab. Render your scene with the HDRI image to achieve convincing renders, and even use the HDRI image as a background if you choose. With the ability to control the quality, intensity and overall HDRI effect of the lighting within your scene, you'll be amazed at the beauty you can release into your scenes. Enjoy the ability to export out full geometric meshes of any of your favorite Boolean objects. Plus, you can re-import these meshes and combine them with other Booleans or imported meshes for advanced objects and cleaner scene building. An easy to use, stand-alone application, this can be installed on as many machines as you like without the need to purchase additional licenses. With greater stability and a more compact client interface providing detailed feedback, rendering Bryce scenes on multiple systems is easier than ever before. Rendering your final images is now optimized to support dual-processor systems as well as hyper-threading. By taking advantage of your superior system hardware setup, you'll receive faster render results. Create, edit, and refine terrains and lattices using 16-bit data within the Terrain Editor. Enjoy the fine level of detail and control that this increased grayscale data affords you. Now it's easier than ever to store your favorite scene files thanks to file compression included in Bryce 6. With basic ZIP file compression now standard as part of saving out Bryce 6 scene files, you can have even more great scenes stored on your drive. Now you can add and delete as many different categories of presets as you need. View more thumbnails at once with the wider aspect preset managers and find the right preset in less time. Add life to your environments by animating your favorite DAZ figures, animals and accessories inside DAZ|Studio and then importing the animations into your Bryce scene. You then decide at what frame the imported animations should begin and can update the animations after you perfect them further within DAZ|Studio. New Image Based Brushes allow you to create custom looks to your terrains. Create your own custom brushes, and share them with others as you build a library of your favorites. There's no limit to what you can use as a brush when editing terrains within the Terrain Editor. Quickly duplicate existing items in your scene with a random distribution of their placement within a perimeter that you control. Create more convincing tree lines and forests at the touch of a button. Simulate crowds, rubble, particles and more with the greatest of ease. With the ability to randomly replicate both individual and grouped items, you can populate your scene with all the extra detail without the tedium. Include your own custom image-based maps to the surface of the moon within Bryce to simulate celestial satellites or alien planets. Plus, achieve more complex planetary skyscapes by layering your renders. More complete and readily visible tool tips help make navigating the Bryce interface more approachable for any level of user.
