Yesterdays thread with the personal photos got me thinking. I mean this is a huge community but who populates it? Is there any demographic/sociagraphic data available? - nationalities? - age / sex? - profession? - social status? - etc etc Sometimes I wonder how poeple have the time to do all these wonderful things you see in the galleries and at the same time maintain a social life (you know family and friends in the real wordl :)), have a job, have other hobbies etc etc.. Not very Bryce specific question but anyway...

So-shul life? What's that? :^)

You mean, it's not get up, go to work, come home, do bryce, go to sleep, repeat until you die? Seems to me, this forum is populated by people from ALL walks of life who found a way to express themselves through art. A commonality...we all chose Bryce. But why? Was it because we all wanted to make cool terrains at first and it just evolved? Hmm..that's something to ponder.

I think Boomers hit the reason why we're here and the demographic, as to why bryce? I saw someone's art (believe it or not Peter Sharpes) and the Bryce program (version 2) and thought I want some of that, it beats POVRay. That's I been hooked since, tried loads of other packages, the only other one I've kept going is Max.

I asked "who" (demographic / socigraphic data ) not "why you use Bryce". The question is more to those running this community and it is business / marketing oriented. I'm just curious.

I think I'm replying the way you wanted us to: -I am Norwegian, Polish, English, Irish, and German but I was born and raised in the Chicago area in good ol' U.S. of A. -15 years old, male -Social Status: I am the most coolest person in the world ;) -Profession: I'm technically a student but I've been performing magic shows for parties and family events professionally for the past 5 years. Anything interesting about me? Ummmm.... no.

No.. I'm looking for an answer like: Out of 100 community members 50 are male 25 are students 40 live in Europe 13 are whatever 73 are whatever etc etc

Oh that's easy.......... 100% are nutters.............LOL 97% are human 100% have computers 100% Have Bryce 94% live on planet Earth.... Sorry, Bazze. Couldn't resist!

well.. i'll be nice, since i couldn't do that whole picture thing.. the real me... half Irish - half American Indian and i live in Columbus, Ohio i'm 23 years of age (going on 12) and male I work for a company called Tigerpoly mfg. its plastic injection molding, we make car parts for Honda and a few other companies. (this is starting to sound like a dating service, don't think my wife would like the thought of that) and just for kicks i'll throw in my hobbies too.. (excluding poser and bryce) Painting, Drawing, carving, building models, building pretty much anything, electronics repair, scuba diving, photography, writing, reading, board and councel games, Starwars, collecting and painting miniatures, collecting spawn.com toys, collecting dragon statues, and lastly, one of my favorites; collecting swords and knives

I don't know if this link will be helpful in answer the original question, but it does include some Renderosity data as to members and site usage.

Hi all, American, Love the freedom but I'm very cynical of the government at the moment (ok always). 41 sexless (at the moment) single (sort of, husband lives with his girlfriend but I'm not divorced [yet]) I do clerk work, two jobs, no social life (hence sexless) Is there such a thing as social status in America? etc etc oh and I live in upstate NY, yeah the other NY. Nice meeting you all.

LOL..social life, never heard of one. Bryce has BEEN my social life for the last 3 to 4 years. I'm single, and have no kids (unless you include my cat), so I have too much time to Bryce and wait on the long renders.

Besides, at this point in time, to the best of my recollection, I have no recollection of any such occurrence ever having occurred. Sorry,........I'm all hopped up on cold medicine.

Hey Bryster! If I'm a schizophrenic nutter can I answer twice?

I am betting that no one here is a millionaire or member of the Illuminati.

I am single. I was married for a couple years back in the mid seventies when I lived in Columbus, Ohio. I am 48 and reside in Apache Junction, Az with my elderly father and my neice when she is home from indoctrination at the Hyles Anderson School.(Can ya tell I have a general distaste for "religious" institutions.) I have spent most of my life doing factory work. Early on when I lived in Columbus I worked as a draftsman doing concrete formwork designs. The Epcot Center and monorail at Disney World being a few. Later I moved to Colorado Springs, Co. and did rebar detailing for a concrete company there. Now I am trying to learn enough about modeling to get by doing that. My hobbies are searching for lost mines and buried treasure. Recreational gold mining and making mining equipment. Guitar playing and building electronic effects pedals and dreaming about vintage tube amplifiers. Amateur Astronomy and collecting parts to build my own telescope. Collecting and shooting firearms. My favorite a repro Confederate Navy 1851 black powder revolver. There now you all know more about me than the government does.

Partially answered in the graphics thread, but ... Female 51 Single Used to be an immunologist, now I'm an attorney No social life to speak of (too much time spent on work and hobbies) Hobbies include: my computers (building them) and computer graphics, my cats (seven of them to which I am allergic ... long story), photography, quilting, the stock market (I'm a wannabe day-trader), anything Disney, movies, and very long road trips (in my camper van). Born in New Mexico, raised in New Mexico and California. Addicted to sopapillas (not the type with cinnamon and sugar) which I can't get here. And, really that's more than most people on the face of the earth know about me. Probably more than any of you will ever care to know.

social life? I don't like people enough to have a social life. The feeling's usually mutual :)

I LOVE animals. Worked in a pet store while in college and collected an interesting array of critters. Down to only 1 cat and 2 dogs now though.

Hobbies tend to change but they typically involve something creative. I often have reading sprints where I read 6 books at one time and just keep starting new ones until there's nothing left to read.

Went to Pharmacy school but it's not what I'm doing as a career.

Oh, and I'm mostly German and English with a few dashes of Russian, Polish, and Scottish thrown in the gene pool. And some other ethnicities we have yet to figure out how they got into the family, LOL. I'm your typical American mongrel. :)

Ummm...and I love to laugh.

So now all we have to do is wait for the other 18,000 members to reply and "bazze" can tally it all up.

LOL!!! Oh, I am getting so incredibly punchy from trying to do this mirror ball effect. I need sleep. Or drugs. Or drugs and sleep. Something.

I am 45 years young, married 25 years with 3 kids (two grown up and left home, one 5 year old). One cat. We live in sunny San Diego, California. Hobbies include collecting 3D programs that I never completly learn, downloading every freebie I can get my hands on, and photography.

Gimme a break! :)

ROTFLMAO!

Lol 35, married, two kids, stopped the 'exciting work' as I don't want my kids to grow without a father like I did... Hobbies? well I'm here, great family, got a cute cat, and the piccy shows my other real love....

Before you ask, Yes that is me in the piccy, on the river Driva in Norway :-)

Quite the adventurer there, Cog! smile
