▼Worldbuilder Pro

Worldbuilder Pro is a functional program that inspires creativity for all users. I have found that the program lacks the full functionality of programs like Bryce, but the 3D rendering and obvious graphic power make up for this.

The original mountain buildng tool gives a great number of possiblities at your command, and the water tool is also very advanced, producing near-photo quality images.

If one problem could present itself, it is the terrain tools. I thought that, with the graphic power this program is displaying, the terrain effects could have been done better - but perhaps I'm just being too critical.

I mentioned earlier that Worldbuilder Pro lacks the full functionality of Bryce. Some may object, but I'm sticking to my guns: Worldbuilder Pro is harder to use that Bryce. Where Bryce made techniques simple, Worldbuilder Pro merely confused the issue, and the toucy nature of the program left a lot to be desired if, like me, you are a perfectionist.

Despite this, I was extremely impressed with Worldbuilder Pro, but would recommend it to experienced user of worldbuilding programs.
