Ottawa, Canada June 25, 2001 Corel Corporation (NASDAQ: CORL,
TSE: COR) is pleased to introduce Bryce 5, the latest version of
its powerful 3D landscape creation and animation application,
designed to empower unlimited creativity on Macintosh OS and
Windows. Bryce 5, part of Corels creative collection, will be
available for purchase in July 2001. Bryce 5 is Corels first
application for Apples new Mac OS X platform. It is the first of
many creative products Corel will deliver for this advanced
operating system over the coming months. With Bryce 5, we are
delivering on our promise to release exceptional applications for
Mac OS X, said Ian LeGrow, executive vice-president of creative
products at Corel. Based on customer feedback, weve tailored
Bryce 5 to meet the needs of serious Bryce users and 3D graphic
artists. This includes the addition of time-saving Network
Rendering and the ability to create premium photo-realistic
images. Bryce 5 makes its mark in the 3D graphics environment by
striking an optimum balance between power and ease of use. The
dynamic tools in Bryce 5 enable users to unleash and explore the
full potential of their creativity. Bryce 5 powers the creation of
truly photorealistic landscapes, models and other images without
the expensive and time-consuming training required by many other 3D
applications. New Features in Bryce 5 Include: Network Rendering
dramatically increases rendering speed by using the power and speed
of multiple computers for a single image or animation. There is no
limit to the number of systems used, and it is platform
independent, enabling Mac and Windows users to render their images
on either or both platforms simultaneously. Premium Rendering
Options take Bryce to a new level of quality facilitating the
creation of naturally photorealistic images with depth of field,
blurred reflections, and soft shadows. The Tree Lab powers the
creation of organic 3D trees. Users specify the exact look and feel
of trees in a scene from the number of needles on a branch to
selecting one of over 60 different tree types. Metaballs are a
primitive object type that enable users to quickly create and
experiment with organic shapes opening up a new world of creative
possibility. The Light Lab gives more robust control over lighting
direction, intensity and tinting addressing the need for accurate
production of real-world environments. Pricing and Availability
Bryce 5 for Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0,
and Mac OS 8.6, Mac OS 9.x, and Mac OS X will be available in July.
The suggested retail price is US $309 for all platforms. Registered
users of any version of Bryce are eligible to purchase the upgrade
version of Bryce 5 for US $159. French and German versions of Bryce
5 will be available in August 2001. Corel Corporation Corel
