Features Include:

• Real-World Lighting via HDRI
  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.
• Animation Import
  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 within DAZ|Studio.
• Mac® Intel Compatible
  Committed to the constant improvement of its entire line of 3D software applications, DAZ 3D is pleased to announce the release of Bryce 6.1 which has been updated to be fully compatible with Intel-based Mac computers. Noticeable performance gains and improved stability are a direct result from this effort. Part of the 6.1 update, all users who own Bryce 6.0 may upgrade to this latest version for free.
• Advanced Terrain Editing
  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.
• Mesh Export of Booleans
  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.
• Compressed Scene Files
  Now you can more easily 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.
• Dual Processor & Hyper-Threading Support
  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 any faster render results.
• Improved Preset Managers
  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.
• 16-Bit Image Support in Terrain Editor
  Create, edit, and refine terrains and lattices using 16-bit data within the Terrain Editor. Enjoy the fine level of control that this increased grayscale data affords you.
• Custom Image Textures on the Moon
  Add 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.
• Random Replicate Tool
  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, simulate crowds, rubble, particles and more. With the ability to randomly replicate both individual and grouped items, you can populate your scene with all the extra detail without the tedium.
• Mouse-Over Tool Tips
  More complete and more readily visible tool tips help make navigating the Bryce interface more approachable than for any level of user.
