What is project BryceMan?! Recently I have become semi anti-poser(although I still like the program for some stuff).My problem is doing crowds(100 people or more).Not to mention Mike&Vicky can be spotted a mile away and still look very similar even with new textures and such.My solution, BryceMan(and women,child later on). Planned Features: 1.full posability(yes in bryce no less) 2.customization(the detail is in the textures) 3.low poly count(saves on ram, so more people in a scene) 4.Textures(this is the best part trust me,wait till I can post some examples) 5.FREE!(yes thats no typo,this is my present to the bryce community) Anyway once the preliminary model is done I will be asking the regulars here to do some testing and then the final one will be released on my website for download.Questions or comments would be appreciated. The pic shows some early shots of the head(not done by anymeans) with textures(also not final ones).On a side note,the faces are of me and my flatmate.

As you can see in the bryce shot,detail is still quite high even though its low poly.The final BryceMan should be between 1000-5000 polys depending on the final level of detail(way lower than a daz fig).In fact the final model will be less than a meg.

About freaking time someone did this! Lol... No, seriously...GREAT idea. It's the beginning of an awesome thing!! AgentSmith

You know how I said I needed testers.........well here's an invite Mr.Smith. Actually, if you send me a front head shot of you, maybe you'll end up as the default "BryceMan"(hint,hint).I can't think of anyone more fitting.^_^

ROFLMAO@TwistedBolt Now THAT would be classic :D Drac

Hey your not going to get away that easy either drac,Bryce Man will need to be multi-racial,so a head shot of you would work too.

Ahhh, lol. I'll see what I can do... AS

I think it would be a cool homage to our fav moderator.....if you do send a pic send it to my e-mail or something.All hush hush like.

I hope Bryceman has a spare rib to use for further development

Oh, don't worry, THIS WILL BE FINISHED! soon hopefully.I'll try to put at least 3hrs a day in on it.

I didn't know you could do headshots of vampires....... I don't think Drac's head will translate to this no matter what race he's from....;-)

but i'm normal though!!!!

Nice pic of a wall, map and notice board......was there something you were trying to show us?

uh? oh, sorry, forgot that was a mirror shot =D

Awesome.... Check this artist out and tell me if you see Vicky in all of his Renders...

hmm..never can have too many models..look forward to the final result..mommy, who's that strange man in the picture up there?..;)

Check this artist out and tell me if you see Vicky in all of his Renders... It's great, but the real difference is in the postwork. If it weren't for that the V3 characters would show similarity. ;) But I do like the idea of having a good quality low-res character for crowds, getting an idea of scale, etc. Would be great for scenes where all that heavy detail on a model isn't really necessary. When these come out, I'm willing to bet that Bryce cityscapes will look less deserted.

Hope so,I used to use the default figures that came on the content disk,I then Booleaned the arms if I didnt need the robes showing....And you only saw them from a distance,I too would like to see these for Bryce as a Mainstream download for Brycers....

Hmmm...a whole bunch of clones of Agent Smith in computers...Sounds like it would make a good movie!

Well Mrdodobird, it might put your invisible reletives out of a job too.I did a prelim joint test a little bit ago.....animating in bryce is funny now.I did a "burly brawl" remake when all the agents are flying off of neo.....funny funny stuff, I even prolonged the time frame so it was slow mo like in the movie.Ah....good times.
