Hiya guys! Yes so far things are working fine... Thanks for the warm welcome... I'm currently working in an animation company here, Toei animation philippines, co-makers of toons like dragon ball z, digimon, mazinger z among others... I'm in the background digital painting hence the large leap in 2d art (the one i posted) usually we can do 2-4 pieces of backgrounds a day using PS CS2, thats all rendered in a semi-realistic type. Yeah I've been busy studying maya (mostly on my own)and recently passed so after a month or two, i'll be transfered to the 3D department... talk about excitement!!! Thank you all for the sweet comments and again the warm welcom... I might be visiting the forum more often now... but I may not be able to do any bryce work... sad... marcfx : maya is one of the hardest high end 3d software to use... harder than c4d... but the quality of artwork and the capabilty of the program (if you master it)is astounding... just take a look at smeagol in LOTR, shrek 1 and 2 among others,thats maya at fullpower. Bryce is a walk in the park, mayais like a masteral in law... if that makes sense. Gog_ca1: I love max too... but since i'll be involve in animation, i shelved my max 5 for now... i'll get back atit soon... i think... Like I said onethings for sure... I will try to postf reebies online, small little things that might be useful for the bryce community... since i love this forum and the people here... and if possible I will post a bryce work too... if I can... My wish for bryce thoughis that it may have a faster and more efficient renderer and modelling tools... that will just like make it much much better... Thanks again guys and more power!
