I do 3d (in general) to make pictures that are a part of, or tell a story. To make these pictures, I make my models elsewhere (in general) because its easier for me to think in terms of polygons than in terms of lattices and negative volume booleans, then I import them to bryce to put it all together. The main reasons I like bryce are - its plantlife generator, the ease and variation that you can texture things, and how easy I find it to put scenes together in it (i.e. lighting, sky....). It fills a part of my picture creation workflow really well. Needless to say, some of the people in this forum can model things in bryce incredibly well and can truly make bryce sing all on its own. I'm not one of them, which is why I tend to stay out of the monthly challenges (as well as due to a lack of time), but I do follow the bryce challenge WIPs and techniques people use and the results very closely. When I saw the last topic - God of Bryce, I actually thought that was a damn tough topic to come up with an idea for. A lot of the other topics I've seen here were either fairly familiar to what people already do, or broad enough so that many ideas could be interpreted into that topic, but this one just felt hard to think up a big idea for. Maybe that made the creativity harder. I think it was a good topic, albiet a tough one. (Sorry for the ramble)
