Get Bryce 5.0 for free
Bryce is a 3D landscape modelling tool that can produce some stunning results. It can be used in Flash games for backgrounds, etc.
Presumably because they're readying themselves for the release of version 6.0, they're offering version 5.0 for free but only for a very limited time.
I've been using Bryce for quite a while, and I think it's a neat program, but maybe a bit dated. Still, you can't go wrong with free.
Check it out : http://www.daz3d.com/
Edit : hope this isn't considered spam, I just thought it would be useful.

Hey Timmy!!!
Ya, I believe the offer ends September 6th.

This software sounds really intriguing and useful, but... for some reason, none of my programs can decompress the sitx. I'm on a Mac, but it says it's a Mac version... I even upgraded to the latest Stuffit Expander, but to no avail. Is this happening to anyone else?

if it helps:
Requirements: Mac OS X 8.x/9.x/10.1/10.2/10.3
NOTE: Bryce 5.0 does not run under Mac OS X Tiger (Mac OS 10.4 and above).

Thanks, but I'm using 10.3.9... and I'm merely trying to expand it. It keeps telling me that there's an error... and I've tried expanding it on two different computers.

It's definetly worth a try guys... Been using it for game backgrounds, titlescreens, cutscenes and the odd quick render for years...
It's not really a modeling tool though unless you like to do it the painful way. But if you have existing models and want to arrange them in a nice setting - landscape, starscape or even just a plain render with some special effects - Bryce is a fast way to get the job done.

While 3ds Max is a lot more powerful, it's a completely different kind of program. Bryce is useful for generating landscape renders with ease, or skies, etc. But for actual 3D modeling it's pretty lame.

Pentry.... there is no comparisson between the two... One is a professional 3D tool for a huge area of applications - with the price to match it - while the other a nice niche tool - for landscapes, skies and ease of use for a decent render. Bryce is no modeling tool - like eon vue is no modeling tool either - they both cater for one small segment of rendering uses.
For a free tool - it's definetly worth a try...
as not a lot of us around here would be willing fork out the price tag currently on 3Ds Max...

Nice work, especially on the levels art
Yes... they were done for an OpenGL game with very low polycounts - that's why the bevel or more detail is out of the picture. Atm. the game is on hold as the coder decided to work on something smaller before getting back into this space rpg.

Hey Daydream, do you mind sharing how you modified those Bryce renders to look pixelled?
