Feature Comparison:
Standard vs. Pro editions of Bryce 7
In the list below, you can click on the 
icons to
see a video (the videos are on YouTube, and do NOT require Quicktime to watch).
So far, the members of BryceUsers seem to have been impressed with the new version. In addition to the new features, some long-lingering bugs appear to have been fixed. No reports yet of how much faster (if any) Bryce 7 is at rendering than Bryce 6.3 was.
