The Bryce Commandments

1 Thou shalt worship only at the altar of the one true 3d App - Bryce alone shall be that app - (although you get some dispensation for using Silo, Poser, Photoshop or PSP)

2 Wings 3D shall thou not use - for it be the stuff of sinners that tempts them from the trail of rightousness.

3 Thou shalt not covert thy neighbours textures. (Cardinal Cyber Storm)

4  Thou shalt Boolean. (This means you, Drac!)

5  Thou shalt create spheres - but put them not over water or seas or lakes or mugs of tea.

6  Thou shalt not be boastful - smugness is ok, but not about that really kewl piece of kit you picked up for a song at the Sisgraph Convention.

7  Thou shalt not use thumbnail titties! Especially if they link to a render that has no titties!

8  Thou shalt not have more than one personna on The Rend.

9  Thou shalt confess!! (Especially to having 'blonde moments' like Ang 'cos we need a good laugh now and again.)

10  The number of the count shall be 3 and three shall be the number of the counting.....oh..er...sorry! don't know how that slipped in......

oops..I'm guilty on multiple counts..sounds like the Comfy Chair for me..;)

God gave you 10 commandments? He only gave me 10 dollars.

Methinks no. 10 must be something to do with the Holy Primitives of Non-exportability.

Forgive me father Bryster, for I have sinned. On one occasion I have counted to 4......I I I I I E E E e eeeeeeeeeeeeee...................

:laugh: :thumbupboth:

I confess...I have blonde moments as well...which is not bad for a redhead.

:lol:

i like pie...

Sounds like a load of papal bull to me !

"10  The number of the count shall be 3 and three shall be the number of the counting....."

Does that mean we can ignore commandments 4..10? In which case commandment 10 is discounted and so all the commandments are valid. Which means that 4..10 are invalid - which means ... Help!!! Primary mind  (= 1 single brain cell) slipping into infinite loop - paradox!! Help!! Help!! Help!!

Love number 7 !

Number 8...such a sin. But never worry, I keep track of you all....

1. Thou shalt not eat or sleep, unless thou hast a render in progress.

oh... whoops..
what happens if i broke.um..er 8 of the commandments?

ROFLMAO,  High priest Bryster.  Got any minor laws from the other prophets?

Drac,  is that pie or pi ?

#7 RULES!! LOL. That really should be a must.. haahaa.. cool list.

What's the punishment for breaking one or more commandments?  Not that I like punishment.  Just curious.  ;)  :D

I would say to you all that there are only two commandments: That you love each others renders as your own and that you have no other rendering program before Bryce.

:lol:

Just love this thread!

I reckon someone should do a render of these commandments on a tablet in some mountains....

Tut Tut your film knowledge is sorely lacking, get thy self to a rental shop and watch Monty Python and the holy grail, you shall then understand this quote, know why to avoid rabbits and understand the importance of the average air speed of a swallow in flight....

To follow in the theme of commandment 10, the chances are that the punishment would be a spanking! and after the spanking.....

:b_blush:

Holy handgrenades Gog! yer right it was  4. I see a rabbit and I wanna run away. 

I think the punishment should be to get a shrubbery.

BTW: Is that a european swallow or an african swallow?

But I’m an atheist :unsure:

Oh!

And I dont like pie

Great list.

I submit these, but I constantly break them:

Thou shalt save every ten minutes

Thou shalt backup thy stuff and then so shall ye backup the backups.

@Gog_CA1 "Tut Tut your film knowledge is sorely lacking etc.." ...

No, not lacking. I recognised the reference immediately (I've watched Monty Python avidly since they 1st appeared on TV, got most of the films on home-recorded video, somewhere) :-))

Just didn't want to fall into the stereotype-trap...

(Who NEVER goes out rabbit hunting unless there's an APC (or preferably, a tank) extremely close at hand..)

just remenber... 5 is RIGHT OUT! (so natcherly he says '5' before throwing it..;) I actually made a Holy Handgrenade somewhere..;)

LOL…that’s OK Sans 2012, we all can’t be perfect!:biggrin:

I think I have broken all of them!
Aaargh, I missed one! Never could seem to get my head wrapped around wings3D. Sorry, I guess I am not perfect (ly evil).

Nih! Nih! Nih!
(old habits die hard)

I would say every render must be at least two hours or more. If it is less up the quality add lights volumetric materials etc. Until it is over two hours.

Ya know I just realized something Bryster's a nice guy but he tends to underestimate everything by 25 percent.

(Sorry I was forced by this girl i knew to drink Shaffer's beer and watch reruns of Monte Python's Flying Circus in a haunted house in Lanham, Maryland for over a year back in the long ago)

Yes two hours ? I think how fast your computer is would have something to do with that - besides 24 hours sounds better to me.

God, two hours, I wish! My latest is 19hr55min and approx 50% done (in cinema4D

(blurry refections, GI, area lights, and sub-poly displacement, dof - as if I didn't see it coming!)

I do a lot of optomising and I have a relativly quick machine a 2.4ghz P4 with 768 meg. Often they go longer but if it is less I always think I am not doing enough.

I have done a bunch of optomizing already - I just want some pricey effects -LOL
I have the same with a bit more RAM, new box on order though.

GGG, Lol!  love it.

had a play too:

More Bryce Commandments:

1 Thou shalt create a sphere

2 Thou shalt create water

3 Thou shalt never bring together thy sphere and thy water  (tea is fine)

4 Thou must never use soft shadows

5 If thou useth soft shadows thou shalt be dooomed to the renderhell forever

6 Thou must look at the DTE

7 Thou must not touch the DTE!

8 Thou must press the randomise sky button,

9 Thou must save thy randomised skies, yea, verily – all of them, and sell them for vast sums

10 Thou shalt always return to Bryce - the place of soft meta-boolean shadowgels.

Bows head wisely.

1. Thou must always explain in great detail, step-by-step, exactly how you did that – whatever it is.

No's 6 & 7 - :lol:  Can't stop laughing....brilliant

I should never read forum posts when I have a drink in hand...keyboards are quite expensive.
:lol:

Too true Fran, but you forgot about rainbows.

And Bryce said," Let there be light." Soft shadows are the cross, and motion blur the spear. Bear the pain of both to see the light. The path to Heaven is littered with the half finished renders of the non believers. 20, 30, 40 hours is but a moment on the path to enlightenment.

Boolean, the bane of the no believer. The curse upon the face of Bryce, that only the deeply commited(DEMENTED) can find glory in. Boolean seperates the wheat from the chaff. The stupid from the Wings 3d users. It is a test that shows how desperate a person is to stick with only one program. The true believer will revel in the pain of slicing and dicing a cube into the space shuttle, while the sane among us import the model we built in Wings.

To the true believes I leave this message. BOOLEAN SUCKS.

Remember. Render unto others as others would render unto you.

I think; therefore I boolean

(If ole George Boole read that he'd be spinning  in his grave - Rene too)

I declare Cyber-Storm to be the heretic of the year...........:lol:

As long as the punishment doesn't involve being forced to dress up like a banana and dance to the song "IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!" in public for the duration of an atmospheric render with 50 radial lights, then I should be ok.

Cyba is not a heretic just like me, a Winger first a Brycer second.

It is true. Cyba_storm, Dark Lord of the Poly Modellers. Displacement Mapper. Texture Baker. SUB SURFACE SCATTERER.

I will SUB-D model in public places. I will create textures in front of young people. I will say the names of 3ds MAX tutorial sites to the elderly. And I will feel no shame.

Bryce is NOT GOD.

There, I have said it. The LORDS OF BOOLEAN do not scare me.   

Cyba_Storm!  yikes, more heresy upon mine ears.  Repent or Bryce lightning will surely strike.

-- Thou shalt not plant duplicated trees within the same grove for ye shall surely inherit fruit of malformed and missing parts.

--Thou shall always remove the bulge of evil on all tree trunks and return them to the warm folds of metaball heaven.

--Thou shalt not stare at the render line for  doing so will lengthen render times.  Get thee much needed sleep.

--Thou shall learn render to disk lest ye be tempted to stare at the render line.

I think heretic of the year must be awarded at the annual hereric of the year awards ceremony - Kind of like the douchebag of the universe was in SouthPark.Therefore cyba_storm would have to be nominated for heretic of the year first.
Since no -ne has yet nominated him for heretic of the year and the awards haven't been awarded yet for this year he can't possibly be heretic of the year... yet.

(Boolean logic to the rescue).

No, no, no, it must be at least 2 days and should really be 2 weeks...............ask Rayraz 8)
