I'm new here, well sorta.
I'm thiking I'll stop by and say hi and introduce myself.
My name is Connie, when I get home, I'm usually called Meow, but I respond to a loud hey you as well.

I've been playing with Bryce and other rendering programs for several years now, on and off. This is an awesome site, big, I'm still finding my way around it all.

I actually ge to do some rendering and visualizations at work too, but being they're for engineers, they never pay for the time to develop something artistic. Usually it's just colored schematics and massing models of land developments. Kind of boring and plain compred to what I'd really want them to look like.

I've been lurking in the galleries and the site for a loong time, and now finally decided to get more active, and polish my artsy skills more. Bryce is my favorite rendering program. Many times I'll model something in Max or others, and bring it into Bryce for rendering.

Hopefully I haven't done anything trerribly anti ettiquette and FAQ by making this post.
I've noticed a few people in here. Lot of smart fun and talented folk in here. Maybe some of it will brush off on me eventually :biggrin:

Hugz, Connie-Kat-Meow

Welcome, thanks for the intro!

AS

G'day Meow-Kat-Connie, nice to see a lurker make themselves know (I was much the same myself at first).

Welcome to the madhouse, watch out for certain people wanting your babies or making you drool all over the keyboard with envy.  Etiquette-wise, no problems from me.  Keep it clean (or tick the advisory boxes) and avoid personal attacks, that should do the trick.

Hi,........welcome ! Look forward to seeing some images from you. I am usually called "Stupid Human" when I get home.

Welcome to the Bryce forum please keep your hands and feet (or in your case foot ;) inside the forum at all times. There are exits clearly marked along the forum here, here and here. In case of water landing make sure you have your ducky and remember no matter where you go there you are!

And thank you for flying Bryce Forums... Have a nice day!

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Hi! welcome to the Bryce scene from down-under. Where flying anywhere takes forever, but at Rendo International is only a click away.

Cheers  

GG.

Mouse sez 'Hey!'

"Eh-Oh" (sorry, too much Teletubbies)

I feel I should mention that I'm from the real Down Under, GGs from slightly to the right of us.

@ Mahray: Coming from Tassie, I am technically further down under than you. And like you say, the FUSH AND CHUP mob across the ditch don't count. They are not so much DOWN UNDER as OVER AND OUT.

Awww, Thank You for the welcome!
...Guys and Gals and Kitties and Mice and Aussies and Kiwies and Tassies... 
Hugz y'all, Connie :m_bouncy:

She uses MAX!!!!!!!  sigh!  Another heretic joins the asylum..........(lumbers off to get the comfy chair.....)

And to the cussies' across the ditch, we wont mention the rugby, netball or the cricket !!!!!??????.

Cheers

GG.

Hey, thought u could get bryster to steal my comfy chair for ya huh? Well u might be new but i want my chair back! After all I'm a max user too :tongue1: we need comfy chairs...

Oh and i render in bryce too sometimes :tongue1: But that's mostly for private projects these days.

I've actually recently made a few grapics for an engineer also, but can u believe he came to me because he wanted a pretty render rather then something all techie/scientific? Ah the world is never free of surprises.

oh and welcome to the forum ofcourse 

Read above entries, we all a bit insane.  (you ever wonder what it would be like to live in one of those looney house on TV or flicks?  Your here now. ) There is talent and thangs to be larned hyer.  Self excluded I'm just a fake.

Welcome to the madhouse.  If you use Bryce you can't be all bad despite the Max admission.

Lol!

...adds Fran to the list....

Bryster's got a little list...

   he's got a little list...

      and they'll none of them be missed...

          no! they'll none of them be missed!

the people on his list get a personal b-day party invitation

Rule # 324 is beign breeched proper introduction can only hapen after posting in at least 4 threads. I make these rules up as I go along and I am top on Brysters list. Good to see some new blood. (where is drac)

collecting babies

Whadda heck are you guys going on about???  :m_confused2:
Render me confused!

The average IQ around here is (pick a number between 20 and 40) on a normal day. If we can keep Agent Smith and the Bryster away it climbs to around 50.

The mental state of most members has been documented by the Department of Health and this forum now comes with a health warnings.  "ENTERING THIS FORUM MAY LOOSEN YOUR GRIP ON REALITY". And, "THE OPINIONS OF THOSE POSTING IN THIS FORUM MAY BEGIN TO MAKE SENSE. IF YOU FIND YOURSELF UNDERSTANDING ANY OF IT, SEEK IMMEDIATE HELP."

Good Eric Idle  - personally though I prefer Goucho Marks - now that guy could go on for hours about intelligence - judging from some of his movies he could go on for hours without it too.

Bryster likes to call people who use anything other than Bryce heretics . . . given that definition we're all heretics - some of us just don't know it yet.

speaking of gouchos: how does a goucho get down off his horse?...

Would that be measured in rays per pixel or maximum ray depth?

Now just a minute... what - exactly - am I on the list for?

For using Bryce?  if so, fine, I admit it., I use Bryce.

  I do...
     usually... 
         when I get lost elsewhere

I think it's probably just yer plain ordinary Depth.

Drac has a fetish for having peoples babies, which is why he's probably out collecting babies right now instead of here to say hi

I wonder what my IQ does to the average considering it's above 140 :tongue1: On the other hand... I have never met anyone capable of understanding what i say at all times and I am aware of the fact that I haven't had a firm grip on reality since the day i was born.... :tongue2:

Fran: You've confessed to being a Maxist sympathiser.................

No no no - that's Mars not Max.  A Mars a day keeps the Bryster away.

(virtuous expression)

I use MAX, WINGS, and VUE. And every now and again BRYCE. I am not a big fan of BOOLEANING.

Stand back. The BRYSTER will be here in 5...4...3....

As TheBryster's unduly unnapointed representitive: You Heretic!!

The LORDS of RENDER looked down and saw the evil BOOLEAN sculking in the shadows. They turned their faces from this foul beast. All except LORD BRYCE. He took it to be his champion. Even in the face of UNIVERSAL disapproval he would not denounce his servant. And so they were shunned.

Oh Cyba-Baby!!!!!  A word in your shell-like....if  you please..........

Welcome Connie,

Booleans may become more fun in bryce 6 :).

Sorry Bryster but I think most of us are heretics nowadays (my current collection includes Max 3.1, Wings, Maya 4 Complete, Blender 2.42 (which Rocks))

My blender rocks too, and it also makes this strange squeeling sound.  Probably have to replace it soon.

Nope no squeeling, maybe I should where my headphones while using it :b_tonguewink:

C4D, C4D, C4D, C4D !

Oh, you guys are like so.... 'you guys!'
Is this like playing mine is bigger then yours?  :m_laugh:

nah, they gave up that game since i got here a few years ago

ConnieKat8:  The Cardinals of this forum take heresy VERY seriously. Being found guilty can get you into a  lot of trouble with the home furnishings deprtment....

Howdy!

Translation: Bryster claims he WILL make you sit in a comfy chair while making computergraphics if you use any tools that are not part of bryce. I have never seen this threat bein put into practice though.

Not all engineers are without an artistic sense...

Welcome to the asylum!

The mine is bigger than yours argument was answered a long time ago. MINE IS THE BIGGEST.

As long as we are talking about plane trips to get anywhere interesting.

@COG: Are you saying your blender came with headphones. I only recieved a set of measuring spoons and a plastic mixing bowl.  RIPPED OFF.

Quote - The mine is bigger than yours argument was answered a long time ago. MINE IS THE BIGGEST.

And I did a render that took 11 days per frame, 1 second of animation - 30 frames, my render is longer then your render!!!! 

:b_sweat:

Quote - ...... a set of measuring spoons and a plastic mixing bowl.......

I had to pay for the headphones, all I got with mine was some strange primitive objects that I can squidge about and colour in different colours.

:b_stunned:

I rendered an animation that took 625 hours :P so there :P

And I'm gettin a system with 2 dual-core Opteron 270's, 4GB's of ram and a QuadroFX3400 vidcard. so MINE WILL BE THE BIGGEST SOON!!!!

This time one of our (mine and my colleague/friend/businesspartner) own build as the alienware system we ordered earlier this year was a HUGE disappointment. As was our Alienware laptop which is now on it's way to ireland for repairs for the 2nd time since we ordered it back in februari. (And after gettin a new vid-card and new ram through the postal mail çuz they needed to be replaced also)

Soo..... if u dun play the mine's bigger game at least learn from this that alienware systems suck. I ain't buyin any of 'em anymore anways.

Guyzzz, guyzz, hold on, it's the technique and presentation that really counts, not the size!
[ducking and running]

........... !!!!!!  ... no, wait....
Come to think of it, there needs to be some sort of uniform criteria for measuring the pecking order ...   LOL, I think I feel a render coming.
...............................[ducking and running].............................................>>>>>>

Is a 19 inch server rack and a 23 inch mac screen enough presentation? or do i need to demonstrate the 40 inch flatscreen tv and the comfy chair also? :tongue1:
