Bryce 3D

Bryce 3D is meant for making believable landscapes and objects in 3D. You are given a number of basic 3D shapes (primitives) as well as mountains and water, tools for editing them and atmoshperic controls - you can control shadows, fog, haze, clouds and even the sun and moon.

The control given for munipulating simple objects such as cubes and spheres is very limited, so it's best just to use Bryce 3D for creating landscapes and seascapes.
