I have been a Renderosity member for over a year now, and have been visiting the Bryce Forum regularly. You have such a wonderful community here, and I feel like I know you all and realized you have no idea about me. Thus, I've decided to introduce myself and say "Hi" to you all.

I was introduced to Bryce by a friend, and try to steal some computer time whenever I can. At this point, I still consider myself a hobbyist (and not nearly as talented as many of you!), but I do enjoy what Bryce can produce. And, yes, I know, my gallery is empty--I'm trying to overcome some shyness and start posting some of my work. But for the time being, I've created a small image for all of you--it's pretty self explanatory.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read a message from a stranger, and I'll try and be a good friend and give something back to all of you who have given me such inspiration over the past many months!

Welcome mloates! Glad you've been a lurker up to this point and now Bryce-mate. Soon shy will be overcome with a wanton addiction to create and learn. Let's just call it Bryce Brain. Glad to have you aboard. ICM

Welcome glad to hear from you. :-) Sharen

Hey you Guys! Another sucker just turned up!!!!!! Sorry! only kidding! Welcome the madhouse! Everyone on here is an egotistical megalomaniac, with despotic tendencies and a vile sense of humour. Stick around and join in the mayhem. Oh I forgot...you know this already, being a lurker an all.... Current bitches are about the Rend colour scheme, spelling, grammer, oh and my relationship with Catlin and Ang25.(Best to stay out of that one....) Stay long & despair. With a render like that, you're already one of the gang. Regards The Bryster

Hi & welcome! Ignore the Bryster, how dare he put me (and Catlin surely doesn't belong in this category)in the same sentence with "Current bitches", lol. I don't see a period between current bitches and your relationship part of the sentence, hmmmmm. How will you get out of this one Bryster?

Well one of the bitches is GRAMMER. Learn to read, Ang! quote..'Current bitches are about...' I didn't call you guys bitches....ok? BTW how are you, you luscious creature you..?

Whoa, people have relationships still? Is it still 2003? (grins) Well welcome to this silly 3D community, regardless, mloates. Post some stuff, even if you don't like it, you'll get some good feedback and you can always delete them from your gallery later, if you're still embarassed! Good luck...!

Greetings and welcome to our happy little family. Yes indeed! don't listen to Bryster, if you've been lurking for a while you know that he is a naughty boy lots of the time. 8P Glad to see you've joined our band of merry Brycers, and I hope we see some work in your gallery soon. 8) Catlin

Hey Catlin...me and ang are on the chat....

I can't chat I don't have Java virtual machine installed but maybe one day.....................8)

Catlin, you're west coast right? Too bad you couldn't join us, Bryster, almost behaved himself! Its 4am where he is and 11pm here, so I have to go, gotta work in the morning :(

HI HI!

Welcome!! Nice image, go ahead and post, don't be shy. Arleen

Welcome to the group! I was once kinda shy but realized the only way I'd learn things is if I talked, and sometimes I think I talk too much in here. ;) I gotta learn to be quite more! As for Ang and Catlin...they're some of the coolest I know, along with many many others in here too...welcome to the group and look forward to some work! MD

Welcome mloates! Nice render. Don't be shy about posting.

Hi and as the guys all say, post some images, they are normally very kind and helpful I have never regretted the day I stopped lurking and started posting.

Welcome aboard !!! Your first image gets an 'A' so... Let's have some more!!!

Welcome to the house, mloates. Always good to see another person come out from the shadows :)

mloates, Pay no attention to that bryster behind the curtain . . . Welcome on board! It's a leaky wee ship we're on but it floats and gets us where we're goin'. Its better to be part of the crew (or one of the usual suspects) than just watching the ship go by. Avast and all that, - TJ

Welcome and don't be shy to post your work Mloates. The people overhere are friendly and will give you that old homecoming feeling over and over again.

Flattery (your pic) will get you everywhere. Welcome to the best Forum on the web!

So youve been watching the insanity, double entendres, bad spelling, bitching about everything, sexual harassment and incomprehensible forum posts for a year and you still want to become part of it? Pass the straightjacket. Ive found another one. Hehe. Welcome, mate.

Hi mloates, Welcome to the clan! Feel free to share your images and questions whenever you want to. The people here are always very nice and helpfull. We are just one big happy family here. If you like soaps you defenitely have to follow The Bryster. Whenever he posts something, juicy (sp?) conversations take place. So far we have heard anything from jacuzzi's to threesomes with cats. And now we just found out he thinks Ang and Catlin are guys. ("I didn't call you bitches....ok?")

Welcome aboard, and don't hesitate if you have a question. We'll try to find an answer :-) Josselin

Welcome, mloates! Your presentation image looks really great, so bear what the others said and don't be shy about posting, here and in the galleries! We're a bunch of funny people, and this Forum helped me to improve a lot my images in the past months. After a while, you will find yourself creating a whole directory under your bookmarks for all the tips you get here. Plus, if you're in need, they also send you food overseas :) Stefano

Rayraz, you crack me up! LOL Ang: Catlin is in the same time-zone as me, put not necessarily on the same planet... This is a fun thread....!!!

Dont let these crazy humans scare you away. The species here, are pretty harmless! Oh darn, did i just blew my cover...again...? :) Glad to see you. With pics like that, you have nothing to be ashamed of. :)

Hi mloates, Nice to meet you..... so to speak. Thats it now - your here - youll never escape. Kinda like the Hotel California.... hmmmmm.... a vision - must render cya Stash ;0)

@Rochr............keep your tentacles under control or you'll scare away the new alien mloates, or is it a human? hehehe 8) It's hard to tell the species in here sometimes. Catlin

hey welcome mloates! Dont be shY! im pretty sure youve got some great talent! the back drop in your image up there has great potential! why dont you post it? im pretty sure people will love it... if your still that shy then email it to me... i for one would really love to see it it tommyteriyaki@yahoo.com... besides being one of the nutcases here, i welcome you to the liviest and the most visited forum in the 3d world! welcome and feel free to talk, jab, and jest! eric/eyecon ps dont forget to mail me your images k? pps thnx for including me in your faves..

Man, we're supposed to introduce ourselves? Did i miss a step? Welcome, mloates.

Welcome. I do believe this has got to be the most visited forum on the web..lol Don't ever be shy about posting your renders, especially here... some of mine are horrendous and I have never gotten any negative feedback. I think this has got to be the best place to learn the program. If this image is any indication of your work..post away.

My name is Nukeboy and I'm a Bryce-aholic... Welcome aboard! This is an awesome group. BTW: As you can see, we're from all over the world; (Agent Smith being from "El Lay" is from out of this world), So where do you call home?

Hi Mloates, Glad you got brave enough to step out of the shadows. Slakker, some people like to stand up and say 'hi', some, like you and I, just slip in and start posting. Either way, we are now all part of the Bryce Matrix. :) Lin

To a machine every reality is virtual, to the mind every reality is real. Inside the Bryce Matrix reality is both virtual and real.

You guys & gals are all fantastic! I expected a few replies, but nothing like this! Thanks for making a stranger feel welcome, and I can't wait to get to know you all!

JeeZ! He want's to get to know us......certifiable behaviour if ever I saw it.....! Start another thread somebody! I need a big sanity fix!!!

Hi Mloates.... Great to have you here. I can identify with you about the shyness you feel about posting your work. I tend to be rather tough on myself about my work and much of it never reaches the forum. But I am slowly overcoming that obstacle.

C'mon, Swade, don't be shy you yourself, now... we all remember that stunning image with that awzom smoke effect in the distance... S.
