All of the effects in Alien Skin can be accomplished manually using
some simple channel operations. And all the stuff in Bryce can be
done, perhaps slower but with much better quality using POV-Ray (which
is freeware).

For some value of "simple", that is. We've always been clear that all
ten of the filters in The Black Box create effects that can be done
manually in Photoshop, if you have the time and inclination to learn the
recipes for them. Some are more easily managed than others, though; I
think it would be an exaggeration to say that our Glass and Swirl
filters, for instance, are "simple" to accomplish manually.

Experienced PS users tell us The Black Box quickly saves them in time
what they paid for it, and novice PS users tell us they love the way it
provides an easy, friendly way for them to do fairly complex special
effects with little or no learning curve. YMMV, but probably not too
much. :)

Oh, and Hart: you can get a pretty substantial academic discount through
our educational distributor, if you're at all affiliated with a school
or university; just get in touch with us and we'll see what we can do to
get you a copy of The Black Box cheaply.

..and if you have no money, then you have a slow machine, and Bryce would
absolutely horrible on it..

What, you just bought a screaming machine? Then surely you should be able
to afford the software too..

Bottom line is: don't bother trying to find these "appz", do it yourself,
the results will probably be better.

Si.
