Ok. I've got the idea because I just saw alvinylaya posting posted in the gallery his very first Bryce render (not bad at all, BTW!). I immediately thought it would be interesting (and, why not, hilarious) if we could do the same in the Forum by posting our very first Bryce render (or, at least, the oldest Bryce pic we can find in our HD's). So... I challenge you! Yes, you all! Put aside the justified shame and show us what you weren't still capable of! :-D LOL... this is sooo funny, I hope you will find it funny as I do. Being the one who threw the first rock, I of course won't hide my guilty hand. Above you can see my very first masterpiece, composed in 1998 with Bryce2 (and please note the very original title...) -- nothing to be surprised if after this brilliant image I left Bryce for a year or so...

Thankfully mine was lost in a HD crash, trust me it was painfull to see.

Hey hey Stefano, I don't know what came upon me but here it is: My first one, it actually made hate Bryce and stop for a while. But, here I am still Brycing.

I really thought those vicous critics would feast on it LOL.

Here's mine - Bryce 1 - Sept 94. Like just about everyone else that's new to 3D, reflective spheres totally blew me away! The render took a coupla hours on a 25MHz LC III Mac.

That's ok, we all somehow begun with the reflective sphere somewhere... this is my VERY first, but it was done with POVRay (you had to input every detail in a text editor before start rendering!) POVRay is still out there, and has improved a whole lot. Plus, it's free and has the sourcecode of public domain. They're simply great.

Top one "Ice Wiz" was Bryce 5 demo, Poser demo, & 90% PhotoShop. I used the eye from an ad on Renderosity front page. LOL Second one "Fly Ball" was My new copy of Bryce 5 and Poser demo. I think I was still cranking up the old PII 500mgz. After that I went to Crome on Ocean stuff. hehe

Doublecrash ( ) posted Mon, 03 March 2003 at 1:41 PM

C'mon, AgentS, we don't believe it! You showed already a very good feel for reflections and "disrupted" texturing... show us the real one! :-) (j/k???)

This is the oldest I could find. Back in 1999. The stripes on the candy canes were done in photopaint. I didn't know a thing about manipulating textures or editing terrains. AAMOF I still don't.

My turn! Bryce 2. Of course it had to have the cool reflective spheres. I was hooked!

Not my absolute first, but within the first week or so, anyway, earliest one I could find. I originally thought I'd do an animation with it, then I learned that things like this can't be animated (easily) (without weeks of tiresome labor) in bryce. Anyway. laugh at the corny image..

Do you want drafts and partial renders or a first complete picture? This is the first picture I felt was complete and could allow it to go into the wide world. :-) Bryce 5.

Well I see there are a lot of us brave souls showing what our first renders were with bryce so I thought I would hop on the band wagon. I did this image back in 98.

Here's the oldest thing I have...there is older stuff but it's on a hard drive in a closet at my parent's house. And I ain't gonna try to fire that sucker up just to get a worse image than this one. :^) This one's about 3 years old and made with Bryce3D about 6 months before I upgraded to Bryce 4. This image came out too dark. Look closely and you'll see the gag. Such that it is. Oh, I feel so dirty.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

LOL.... this is a very good idea. Although this isn't my VERY first one (I don't know what happened to it) this is my second image, which IS my first one ever posted. My first image was a lot worse than this one I must confess, but this is all I can share until I can find my actual first image. I'll keep looking.

Ang25 ( ) posted Mon, 03 March 2003 at 9:49 PM

Well this isn't the first one I did, but its the earliest I could find that I saved. All I can say is I'd only had Bryce for less than a month when I made it and its appropriately called "firstlandtreewaterscene". Angela

I've noticed no one is posting any suggestions for improving any of these images. :^D

And I noticed that the date is wrong on mine. I didn't date it when it was first done, but it was Christmas of '99 I think and not Christmas of '98. Was Bryce 3d.

Worse and worse! This image was a prelude to one in my gallery, and a precursor to me finally getting used to the DTE....! 7-29-01, Bryce 5 Demo... (I have older stuff, from Bryce 3D(It Moves!), but it's all at home, and admittedly too horrible even for one such as me!

I'm on a new comp, so I can't look to find the first one that I ever did. (Thank God!) Made with the Bryce 4 demo and Photoshop. Posted here in April 2000.

Here's something fun...take your first picture and make it into something using what we know now, but leaving the theme intact. Does that make sense?
