Eovia introduces Bryce 5.5 for Mac & Windows

Bordeaux, France – May 3rd 2005 - Eovia, developer and publisher of leading 3D animation, modelling and rendering software, today announced that the new version of Bryce for Mac and Windows is complete.

Bryce 5.5, developed by DAZ 3D, is the first major update of the legendary 3D tool since 2001. Eovia, exclusive importer of Bryce in Europe, will start shipping boxed versions of the new software at the end of May. ESD download versions have been on sale since early May 2005 at www.eovia.com.

Bryce 5.5 boxed version is priced at €99.95/£69.95 (ex VAT).

Bryce 5.5 ESD download version is €89.95/£62.95 (ex VAT).

These versions are English-only.

Among the new features of Bryce 5.5 are increased render speed and a re-write of Bryce Lightning. Users are now able to render over a LAN or WAN, while the user interface is more compact, causing it to be less intrusive than previous versions and more robust to its users.

Bryce 5.5 also offers enhanced OpenGL Support; Bryce 5.5 adds the ability to see a low-resolution representation of the materials within the scene while being applied to their objects.

Further, users to switch to or browse through multiple OpenGL modes - Textured Shaded, Wireframe, Lit Wireframe, Hidden Line, Wire Shaded, Smooth Shaded, and Wire Textured Shaded.

Bryce 5.5 also benefits from its close integration with DAZ|Studio, allowing its users to mix between native Bryce and native Studio content in a single Bryce scene.

From within Bryce, users can launch the DAZ|Studio interface and either load new objects or perform additional edits to DAZ|Studio elements in their Bryce scene. When the DAZ|Studio interface is closed Bryce automatically updates the DAZ|Studio scene elements into Bryce, including all texture and surface material information.

Until the link for DAZ|Studio element is explicitly broken by the user from within Bryce, DAZ|Studio elements can be tweaked and edited an infinite number of times.

As this is really a full version of DAZ|Studio that is running within Bryce, all the DAZ|Studio capabilities of posing, content management, and surface attribute editing are available for use.
