Hyper Texture — November 2013.
A hyper texture outputs super high positive or negative values which alter the parameters in the Mat Lab in unfamiliar ways. Additionally, there is the Phased Hyper Texture (5 pages, 301 MB). (115 KB).

Advanced SSS Effect — February 2014.
Bryce does not feature a direct material option for sub-surface scattering (SSS), the effect of a lower surface lighting the upper one with blurred reflections. This effect can be approximated, however. (151 KB).
