well ive never heard of it but im definitely interested - could be a good way to learn some new tricks - anyone else? Stash ;0)

I've heard it done before, and it seems to be a very cool idea...the one I saw is where someone added to it, not changed anything though. Everyone got to add their 'signature touch' to the picture, where everyone put something in that is their specialty of sorts. Yes, we ALL have a Bryce specialty or two, just gotta find 'em. I think it would be a cool little project. Maybe what we could do is download and upload the Bryce file to a central location for easier access. Any ideas? I'd be willing to try it out if others are. MD

It was done here several months ago. The one that was going on then apparently has sort of died out. Not sure why. AS would know more about it and I think Collette. Can't remember any other names that participated. If you search for "toybox" I think you'll find the threads about it. The subject was a toybox in a child's room. Now that I know more about Bryce, I'd love to do something like this. If anyone's interested in getting another one started, I'd be glad to be involved.

Right - I have my own webspace and will quite happily build the asp pages to upload the files to. Im away over the weekend but im taking my laptop so ill work on the asp just in case someone wants to do it - IM/email me and ill get back to you all on monday Im definitely interested in having a go Stash ;0)

i'll take you on :)

I like the idea of people adding their own personal touches to an scene. Some people could add a model and someone else could texture it etc. someone else add the lighting. Just ideas. Don't know what I could contribute but I wouldn't mind trying something. Sounds like fun.

Wow, Stash, that's very generous of you, thanks! I don't suppose it would be possible to make an entry page, too? So that we can sign up our 'osity names and what we consider ourselves best at(modeling, texturing, lighting, etc.)? That would be great!

Antevark...great suggestions. I like the idea of us listing what we'll do so that we can better judge WHAT to do in the picture. I know I'd sign up for texturing, my modeling isn't at a peak point yet and lighting...I just haven't had the desire to really toy with that yet. I'd like to see how this turns out. MD

Ang25, I think you do well with the foliage in pictures...your trees and weeds often turn out really nice...that could be something you could focus on if this image comes about. MD

We also had a kind of similar contest a while back where everyone involved wrote in a description of what to do and we all made our own images. I think that one was started by Erlik. I would be interested in doing something with this so add me to the list. Catlin

One way we can do this is having the main file ready, but we can add what we want in a seperate Bryce scene file and then just merge the files and adjust the placement accordingly, that way the other placements don't get messed up. Plus it can spead up workflow. Anybody agree/disagree? MD PS...of course if you're going to be a texturer, you'd only work w/ the scene file itself.

Spead = speed...jesus I've lost it. MD

OR Spead = spread lol, and thanks MD for suggesting I do something well. :-D

Yes it was done here before. I hosted some of the images and files. Seems as if it was 9 months ago. Then I reposted the finished products just a few months back. If you're interested I'll dig them up, I probably burned them to archive CD's. I believe there were approx 10 participants for PC and 5 or 6 for Mac. Yes it was called Toybox you can search bryce forum archives for "toy box" or "Group Project" to see what the results were.

ICM did you ever get the file back from DarkGinger? I think they were the last person to have the pc or mac version and then it stopped. Catlin

Ang...no problem. I checked out your gallery and was pretty impressed with the trees and weeds you did...especially the placement. So if I were to suggest at least one thing, it would definitely be that. :) MD

No, never did.

i'd join! i like modelling. i aint good at it though...

Don't know what I'd be best at, but I'd love to be involved. As long as Ornlu doesn't fill up the scene with eight million metaballs and lights...

I'd like to be involved too :) Just don't know what I'm good at really, definitely not modeling thoughshudders at the thought of showing anyone any modeling she's done This sounds like a fun idea....

I would love to take part. My skills are on the low side, but I could do some modeling. Diane

Liked the Toybox project. Have the link to the site as a favorite, let me know if you want it. Would like to the join this project too. This time, I will just join the mac side. Most of my pictures are done on a mac anyway. Not sure if I have a specialty though. Can drop by my gallery and suggest a specialty.

Texturing. Definitly texturing.

Is the modeling going to be restricted to Bryce modeling?

I dunno, I say yes, but others might disagree.

I would disagree. So models you make yourself are not allowed?

It's up to the majority of people.

the majority seem to say yes. John

Yes to what? Models you make yourself using another app are or are not allowed?

I prefer modeling only in Bryce because it's more of a challenge. I'm guessing that the majority of people would want to be allowed to model in Wings. I think that these should only be what we've modeled. No downloading.

Is this a Bryce only or not? It's a simple question and a less criptic answer would be appreciated, and since Gog CA1 suggested this in the first place perhaps he/she should be the one to answer. If there are going to be too many restrictions on what we can do then I don't think I'll bother. I m just a bit fed up of being told what to do, it's not a monthly challenge and each person has their own kind of creativity, so if you want a piece of work from each of us it should not be restrictive. Catlin (my 0.02p)

Hey, I'm just sayin' what I think the most people will want! Let's make this any program, and I'll just stick to Bryce

OK! 8)

Howdy folks, I'm back after my week of rain and wind in cornwall. My view on the idea is use whatever you like as long as everything you do is your own creation and the file you pass on is Bryce. The idea is to stimulate art not smother it. Once life has settled down (give me a week to recover from my holiday :-) ) I'll get something started unless stash wants to post a URL to his asp driven site....

Now thats an Image, a site driven by asps.

Wasn't that his job? Yeah, asp's pretty impressive.

An example - using 4 terrains make the glass as pictured above. (Just an example but you get the idea.) That way if someone drops out you all can keep going. Of course Agent Smith and/or Clay would need to be involved or approve, I would think. - TJ

Here we go again Sighs. Personally think that using your own models and importing them into Bryce is also a Bryce function. Once its loaded into Bryce and textured and fussed with its a Bryce item, not Carrera or LW or Max.

Exactly Seven!
