Hey guys, I'm a longtime member of Renderosity, I used to be a Bryce head, not too much anymore, I still use it, but not like I use to.. I mainly use Rhino and Carrara these days for my 3D needs. I just wanted to say that, for a program that is most likely dead in the water (Bryce), this forum is very much alive. There is more life and more going on in here than the other forums for programs that are still alive.. I love Bryce, and I always will, It was one of my first experiences in 3D rendering. It's good to see so many Brycers still using and loving this crazy little program. It's a shame what Corel did..Bryce has so much more potential, it's too bad Eovia didn't buy it, you'd probobly be using Bryce 6.5 by now, and it would probobly be the program it was destined to be. peace, kaom

Thanks! Brycers are just too crazy to die,lol. AS

Me, I'm just too stubborn (or lazy) to learn something else. Long live Bryce.

Word. :^)

to go from something as user friendly, powerful, and amazing as bryce...to programs with difficult learning curves, complicated UI's... IT'S SO HARD!!! We've been spoilt.

I know, I still remember the day I brought Bryce 2 home and installed it. I had heard about it in a UFO magazine, they were using it make fake UFO's to put into photographs. I looked at the pictures of the interface in the magazine and it was almost like I knew how to use it in my mind before I ever even saw it. I gotta say though, if you ever want to get into serious harcore modelling, Rhino is the easiest to learn, and damn well worth it. I wish they could make all programs as intuiitve as Bryce. Carrara's the closest thing to it as far as interface and usability goes. You guys havn't slowed down at all, I stil see great work in here all the time. I think I'll fire Bryce up tonight and get lost in the surreal Bryce worlds on the monitor. LONG LIVE BRYCE! PS. I signed the petition, it would be really nice if someone took Bryce to the next level. What a waste of ingenious software.

They can have my Bryce when they pry it from my cold, dead ... ;) Dave

we're not dead, we're just not finished rendering..;)

Aye, Bryce isn't dead until my copies stop running, whichthey won't. Ever. I have my home network attached to 12 windmills, which will keep me powered indefinitely. (joking about the Windmills) I agree with you, Kaom. Rhino is the best program I've ever spent money on, I got it out of a small computer deal as I told the client I needed a legit copy of Rhino to finish his projects. Compared to the cost of the whole deal, Rhino was a drop in the bucket for him. Nowadays, I model nearly everything except terrains in Rhino. Things like walls and simple boolean stuff I still do in Bryce, and I'm much more fluent with Bryce for artchitectural modeling, but Rhino RULES!

I was just thinking: What about writing a program that LOOKS like Bryce (layout+features and is able to import br mats and br files) but much more advanced... I've tested Vue 4 and Carrara but no, they've got much to learn about how to make an intuitive interface and you don't feel the "Force". :-) Bryce doesn't evolve via updates but through the enthusiastic users finding new ways to "bend" this brilliant software; the drawback is that we Brycers are spoiled for good. ;-)

I thought AS said 'LAZY' instead of 'CRAZY'......he's probably right on both counts........... And as for Bryce being a 'crazy little program'....ahem! It still surprises guys who've bin using it for years.....

...nice of you to drop by. My Bryce and Rhino get along pretty good together.

Hey GROINGRINDER! I' han't really messed with importing much from Rhino into Bryce, but from the looks of it, it seems work and look great. My vision for Bryce...Eovia buys Bryce, and creates a winner by combining the best features of Amapi's NURBS, the beauy of Carrara and the logic of Bryce. And end up with a program you could do anything in. Just a dream... I'd be all over it. Rock on guys...Render, render, render, render.!!!!!!!
