What I've always missed in Bryce is the traditional airbrushers' ability to add the airbrushed HotFlash effect.
I'm lazy, if I'm setting up a render I know will take 6 hours, the last thing I want to do afterwards is go into
Photoshop and airbrush the visual "hooks."
So here is my solution, a couple of images to place on a 2d plane, pointing at the camera and positioned over the white areas
in metalic and glass object renders.
The upside is that it adds almost no increase in render time. The same also works for a Candleglow.

With a bit of playing you'll find that you can even place a hotspot midway inside a cup to get the back lip to render a natural looking, accurate hotspot also.

in front of object and render.
