We are no longer selling Bryce 5.5. Bryce 6 will be available from Strata in mid to late April. Stay tuned!

Featuring an innovative user interface, Bryce 5.5 combines exceptional power with incredible ease of use. Bryce 5.5 is a fun, feature-packed 3D environmental modeling and animation package. The entire program is designed to allow new users to quickly draw and render stunning landscapes, scenes, and 3D artwork. You can literally create a world of your own within this unique 3D program.

Bryce 5.5 provides an ideal way to integrate modern 3D technology into your creative process. And you can bring in all your favorite DAZ figures and accessories with the help of simple to follow online tutorials. Available for both Windows and Macintosh platforms, Bryce is the perfect companion software to Strata 3D CX.

You can also use Bryce artwork in conjunction with image editing programs to blend photos and Strata renderings together with Bryce images for an unlimited degree of creativity. Be sure to view the artwork hosted in the Bryce Gallery. There you'll see many elements from Bryce, such as: terrains, skies, water, or even entire scenes used as part of the 3D artwork. Many of the images were created by rendering parts of a 3D scene and then merging them together using photographic elements, Strata renderings and layers in Photoshop.

With the help of the community members in the StrataCafe and BryceTalk online forums, you can quickly find answers to any questions and before you know it, you'll be an avid connected Bryce user.
