Ok I've finally had enough
Call this a flame call it a bashing call it what you want
I've had these suspicions for awhile, and now I'm voicing them.

Pumeco.
Post 29, Yes I agree with it.

{especially if that knowledge is inspired by information already freely exchanged in the community...}

And you know it is .

{Once the knowledge, files and presets are released, they (or close variations) will very likely be openly exchanged - perfectly legally - within the community (especially given the above).}

That's right you have no legally copyright, on br5. files.

And after looking at some of your, examples. I'm taking serious consideration, that the base of your materials, came from materials
that were downloaded right from the Renderosity free stuff area.

Personally I think you are fairly new to 3D graphics. You have an arrogance about you. I say this because of these post by you.

{There's an myth with Bryce 5, regarding reflections on transparent materials that have no reflective property set. This is something that members see as a problem caused by the use of TA (True Ambiance). However, the reality is that it's not actually a problem, and it's presence is not caused by TA. The cause is actually refraction, as my test strip above demonstrates.}

1. I have never heard of this myth. Has anyone else?
2. Out of all the treads in all the Bryce forums on the web I can't recall any Bryce Users ( members ) mentioning or complaining about this.
3. Guess no one else really knows what refraction is.

4. If you take the 2 spectral channels ( set to 0.00 ) out of the bottom images. You have the same thing as the top images minus your environment rig ( lighting ) Pro Render or whatever.

5. So Bryce primitive and Boolean don't work properly in Pro Render...

{Well, as many of us know, imported geometry under true ambiance has smoothing problems. In fact, smoothing the object in Bryce 5 will have no effect on it's smoothness under TA whatsoever }

6. Wrong, do you even know how the smooth option works in Bryce. It is totally a render effect. And your having problems with Boolean in Pro Render which are render effects to.

So a couple of weeks ago you posted here, there just about everywhere, you were canceling Pro Render ...haha just joking... yea right And now because of the rude and crude draculaz your canceling your so called Pro Render...what a cop out...the truth is if any real Bryce user examines Pro Render the truth will come out.
So my challenge to you is private message Me, draculaz, AS, PJF, Tjohn, BT, Dar, Frogdot...or any 2 experience well known Bryce user, and give them access to Pro Render and all that goes with it. Let them examine it, and tell the rest of the community if your for real or a rip off artist.
So people ask why are some of us so hostile...BECAUSE NOBODY LIKES BEING PLAYED FOR A SUCKER...

If you do this and 2 people with a solid working knowledge of Bryce, well known in the community determine that you have truly discovered something that no one has documented what so ever. I will eat my words
and publicly apologies at every forum on the web that the word Bryce has ever appeared in.

So what do you say Buckaroo...your being called out..... Message edited on: 08/21/2004 11:30
