>>8127147* Photoshop type programs obviously still exist, indeed there are now more free and paid options available for this than ever.
* Bryce 7 still exists and can still be purchased from Daz3D, see
>>8117901 . Keep in mind it's not been updated in about 15 years now and is only a 32-bit app so it's memory limited (max. 2Gb) and requires a special patch to allow it to use more memory (max. 3.5Gb) on modern computers. This version will not work on MacOS 10.7 or higher.
* Older versions of Bryce can be found on the webarchive, these versions may or may not work and are all subject to the same memory limitations as Bryce 7.
* Pandromeda Mojoworld now only exists on the webarchive, and any examples of the software on that site may or may not work.
* Blender still exists and is considerably more powerful and capable now than it was back in the day.
* E-on Vue 2023 is now available for free from
Bentley.com , though their website is god awful and buggy as all heck. A work-in-progress version of Vue 2024 is also available 'as is'. Both versions are also available for Mac with certain limitations.
This software is no longer officially updated.
* 3DS Max / Maya both still exist via Autodesk. I believe they have limited free versions available for both software titles.
There's likely other software used to make some of the images in this thread, but this covers most of the commonly-used software, hope this helps..
