What a vaporware website this is!

But the book (Real World Bryce 4) is done. You can get it from Amazon and they’ll ship it immediately, too! And if you want to see proof that I *can* update a web site on a semi-regular basis, then check out my weblog. (I’ve been travelling, so the promised revamp of this site hasn’t yet taken place.)

What is AuntiAlias, anyhow?

AuntiAlias is a pun on the word antialias. In computer graphics, anti-aliasing is the process of adding what seems to be blurry in-between pixels to smooth the image so it won't appear so "jaggy." The pun came about in the early days of Bryce, the 3D landscape software. Bryce's final rendering pass is anti-aliasing. On the software's support boards, I'd sign my posts as "Auntie Alias." I thought, "Hey, I'll make that into a screen name!" The 10-character limit resulted in this spelling you see here: auntialias.
