Here's my text on bryce from another topic:
EmperorJeramyu wrote:All of the parallax backgrounds are original, so those are definately a no-no. They were created by Lun in a 3D modelling program called Bryce. And from personal experiance, I can tell you they are pretty darn tough to make right. The custom sprites and music are usually listed at the beginning of the episode, and of course, all of the menu graphics and most of the pictures are original.

I could probably accurately reproduce some of the simpler maps, but I know it's bryce because it has the same textures, style of landscape generation, sky creation stuff, etc. But I digress, Lun is a god among men when it comes to bryce. For example, that first pan with the overview of the blood lyn super-mountain-fortress is absolutely astounding. I believe Lun told me it took almost a full day of work to create.

Bryce 4 is $100. There's also
Bryce 5, which is currently unavaliable, or the latest version,
Bryce 5.5, which goes for around $98.
To my knowledge, Lun used Bryce 4. My experience is all with Bryce 5. But I suppose the latest version would probably be the best.
Though there are ways to get these programs that make cost... shall we say... irellevant.
I know of no trial version, however.
