I got an iMac for my birthday/xmas and, since my Powerbook is still on sick leave for the forseeable future, decided to install my copy of Bryce on it. However every time I try to run it it seems to be starting up ok and then it suddenly vanishes. IIt doesn't tell me it unexpectedly quit or any thing either. It's Bryce 5.5 so it's not too old and is the earliest version to support 10.4. Any idea what I can do, other than upgrading to 6.1, or whatever version Daz are peddling now, to get back on with doing 3d art-ey stuff?

Bryce 6 is Intel Mac compliant (I'm sure you know this already). I don't know about 5.5 but Version Tracker does not mention Intel Macs.
Try this: Get Info for Bryce. There is a Use Rosetta choice. Select this and close the Get Info window. Try launching Bryce again. If that doesn't work it might be worth trashing the Preference file(s).
You may have to upgrade to 6.

Nah, it don't work 
I guess I'll have to start saving up my money.
Blender is more of a Carrara replacement although without the nice friendly interface....I know this because I had the same problem with Carrara and am now learning Blender. Which is about as userfriendly as trying to get your M$ refund from Lord Crud*.
