I rarely do original work. I steal from others. I take their ideas, their imagination, and re-create it in Bryce.

Why? Because although I have imagination I find it hard to get it on the screen.

My 'art' is my technical skill, my ability to get Bryce to re-create the works of others in a way that has not been done before in Bryce.

Since I got sick my brain is no-longer wired the way it used to be. I get ideas but they are gone in a flash before I can even begin to work on the computer.
So now when you guys say 'I can build that in Wings', I'm saying, 'How can I build that in Bryce?'

I admire the imagination of people like Frogdot, Rochr and Gevidal - to mention just a few - don't be offened cos I left you out - but I also admire the skill of those who use other apps like 3dmax, vue, poser and so on, because I can't get my brain to concentrate on learning those apps.

At the end of the day, you can have technical skill and imagination, but you can also use technical skill imaginatively...

So how do I judge the work of others? Simple! By comparison. I expect every artist to improve on their last work.
