Hi folks, Thanks for your kind words about the Bryce Forum Gallery! I realize that my gallery has been a stable resource for a very long time in the Bryce community. But gallery participation has slipped over the last year and I made the decision to go out while it was still vital rather than just letting it fade away. As previously pointed out, a huge number of the links pointed to Renderosity. Although I really like Renderosity (Im an active contributing member), the relationship was beginning to erode the fundamental original purpose of my gallery. My original idea was to have artists post links to their personal web galleries, and not have to rely on service style galleries like Renderosity. This system would bring visitors directly to the artists web site. At the time I created my gallery the big full service guys like Renderosity and 3Dcommune did not yet exist. It would seem that digital artists like the Renderosity metaphor, and links to private galleries can be supplied by simply by joining the webring. This put me in a tough position. I could turn my gallery into a Renderosity style gallery simply by buying and installing similar software. But it would really only be duplicating the active Bryce community already at Renderosity. The beauty of the Bryce Forum Gallery is that it was Bryce-only. That was also its biggest weakness. The judging panel part of my gallery is a very cool concept and has yet to be implemented at any other gallery as effectively, but that is not a compelling enough reason to keep going when you look at the situation as a whole. Im sorry to be so long winded but you people are friends and I feel like you deserve to know whats really going on. I plan to be posting to the Renderosity Bryce gallery soon and I look forward to see you all there. All the best! Bruce MacLeod
