I've stll got a copy of Fallingwater and the treasury of athens somewhere on my hard drive from great buildings. Design workshop classic is only $79 and saves as DXF which bryce will import. The old Deep Exploration software would also open 3dmf and save to other formats. The Artifice software uses most of the same standard primitives to draw, cyllinders, plains, cubes. They also have line and extrusion tools and some really good allignment and distribution tools that make it easy to generate columned halls, etc.. Artifice needs two things; sales and product. Traffic to their site to swipe free models generally won't do that. Here's what I propose, Renderosity hold a building design contest. It could be open to all model designers. Brycers could participate by importing a cyllinder, plain, and cube set and manipulating these since they can't export bryce primitives. (AgentSmith, Is it possible to reexport scaled dxf objects in Bryce?) Artifice could provide full versions of pro or classic as prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd. They could also trade DXF files from their own site for any models of entries they like. The winners would agree to turn over the model to Artifice for use and promotion on their website and inclusion in their CDs. Renderosity could promote Artifice and provide a link in the webring. We might also have a contest to render existing artifice models in rendering apps. We would have to get DXF models of two or three of their models, Fallingwater, Gregory Farmhouse, Maybeck Studios, whatever. People could see what can be done in other apps with Artifice software. The winners could get a full version of pro or classic. Both types of contest could generate interest in Artifice software and CDs. The attached link is the homepage of Artifice since it's not included in the thread. Other people can check them out and see what we're all talking about.
