Hi everyone.

I may not be posting much at the moment, but I am certainly watching all these PRO-RENDER synthesis type threads. It reminds me, of me, when I was in the process of developing PRO-RENDER, and it's great to be able to look in like this :-))

I am really enjoying watching this, and no, before anyone even suggests it, I'm NOT trying to be witty.

Every image I've posted here, demonstrates quite clearly, that light does "bounce" in Bryce 5, If it did'nt, then perhaps someone had better explain how on earth I created those images.

There have been many digs at PRO-RENDER for being a slow method of rendering. Well, let's be honest here, the attempts so far to imitate the output of PRO-RENDER have resulted in the render times of your images coming pretty darn close to that of my SAMPLE 1 (WIDESCREEN TV) render.

Perhaps now, more of you will appreciate that render for what it is. Boring as it may be, it has a very reasonable render time, considering the method used to create it.

Oh yes, almost forgot...

draculaz, I quote you:

"as for that image, if that's the result you get with massive rrp, then i'd be afraid to see how it would look like with a normal setting."

...well all I can say to that one is, check out SAMPLE 1 (WIDESCREEN TV), because that image, WAS rendered with a normal RRP setting.

If you have found a MORE accurate method of illumination than this, then I for one, would love to get my hands on it :-)

So then, it seems, we've come full circle. Surely now it's my turn to be the sceptic here. The very fact that members are trying to emulate the PRO-RENDER method, and failing, shows that I HAVE a valid product. A product that WILL do what it was always intended to do, - to help Bryce 5 users, create more professional looking renders.

I'll post some more images soon. But until then, I'll be watching these threads, and watching you learn. Keep up the good work ;-)

Finally, I'll give you all a little advice that should help you in your quest to crack PRO-RENDER.

The advice is simple...

...listen REAL GOOD to what Peter(PJF) is trying to teach you. He has, by far, the most solid perception of PRO-RENDER posted in these threads. If you really want to crack PRO-RENDER before it's release, then consider PJF's knowledge, your guide book!

Regards,

Len.
