Well, this was my first. It actually lives in my bryce gallery on my website... sort of a "this is where I started at" kind of memory.

Well this was about my 3rd bryce render, Bryce 2 straight after it was released. (Last time I mentioned how long I've been playing with 3d (not just bryce - on another forum) I had several people point out to me they were still in primary school :-( )

I thought I'd throw in my 2c's worth.Thought I had lost this one.My first one,made on a free trial download of bryce about 18mths ago.Its only in the last few mths that I have been really able to get stuck into learning the program and that looks like its going to be a long process. Cheers GG.

I first had an early version of Bryce as a freebie on a magazine. I think it couldn't export the saved pictures without a watermark (which you can see on this one). Can't remember when this was made, but it was a few years ago. Enough fun to make me get a full copy, which I guess was the idea of the demo.

Found another early picture too... This is great, looking back to see how much I've improved (or no as the case may be). This was based on the Dark Tower.

I don't have any really early ones to hand, but this is the first I did using poser figs in Bryce. poser 3 and bryce 3. I keep meaning to redo this image and see how much better I could make it now.

I read a review of Bryce in our local paper's Tech section and it showed an illustration of what Bryce could do. I was immediately intrigued! A month later I was working at my job shipping discount software for a now defunct online retailer(lets call it "Humpty Dumpty" 'cause it had a great fall)and I stumbled across a copy of Bryce2! After my employee discount the cost was just $12 U.S!(Bryce3 was already out)I snapped it up, and then realised that it might be a good idea to actually buy a computer to run it on.

So good old Bryce was responsible for introducing me not only to 3D art, but to the world of computers too. Sorry to say that I don't have a copy of any of my earliest stuff. That was seven computers ago and I had no concept at that time what a back-up was! I will say that many of your first efforts totally smoked what I did back then!

Here's mine... Used a lightning Photoshop tutorial I found somewhere. Some canoe model I got on a cd given to me. Since then, I've really gone against using predone models, other than Poser figures. I like to do it all myself. Anyway, that image was made recently, in June, so I think I've really progressed. Cory BS

Heh. I got my hands on Bryce 5 at the magazine I write for, because the idea was that somebody completely inexperienced in 3D writes a review of it. You can see the result, with Poser 3 figures. BTW, I got the Poser a week before Bryce. I even know the exact date, 14/02/2002.

Aye, I can't find any of my oldest Bryce 3D (It Moves!) files, but here's some early works from my "rookie" 'Rosity ID... (darkelf420) This is the first thing I ever did with Bryce 5, the demo version, the day it was released I believe! Notice how the roots are just chillin, not going ANYWHERE! (laughs at self!)

I think there have been many posts like this one Incarnadine :) but it's still fun to see these OLD pics...I'm so very glad most users started out the same way......and now look, with a little time and patience we have the images in the Top 20 .....wow

Well, I'm not seeing any images here that are as bad as my beginning ones, lol. Some of these are even better than what I still do. But its still fun looking back. Ok I found one called "firsttreelandwater" I also saw a lot of my challenge entries that also scream 'beginner!' LOL.

Ang25 ( ) posted Thu, 27 November 2003 at 8:52 AM

It also might be fun to start another thread where we try to recreate these old images (I doubt I still have this bryce scene saved) only do it using our current skills and see the difference between the two side by side. :)

chohole ( ) posted Thu, 27 November 2003 at 10:00 AM

Hey that sounds like a fun idea. Sort of a challenge with a difference.

This was one of my first images with Bryce 2.0 in Feb 1997. Up until that time, I'd only tinkered around a bit with POV-Ray and Vistapro (DOS version). Tony
