I've had a frustrating time with the Bryce UI, with such irritations as the hidden Windows menu-bar -- "Where's the icon to save a file, dammit!" And, to be honest, despite working with graphics, I struggle with new symbolism. Maybe there are other people like me. I know I'd appreciate some sort of tutorial which would help me get over the initial weirdness. As it is, there's something needlessly intimidating about a progam which even hides its own menu bar. Any recommendations?

other apps hide their menu bar as well, i don't think that's much of a nag. bryce has other, more annoying non-features, but also a number of hidden features and easter eggs you might find interesting or even useful. i take it you have version 5? welcome  :)

Put your cursor to the top of the screen for 2 seconds, the top menu bar will appear. Click on "File".

Here is a Link to a fantastic Easter Egg List:

The simplest tutorials I know - written for Bryce 4 but still very useful - and then you will feel up to more difficult ones :)

Should only take about half an hour for each tutorial

Welcome to the Asylum!

oh, you've discovered the 'air hockey' menu bar..;) it's a feature, yeah..that's it.

Have a look at this site - the best tutorials for complete newbies ever. Starts from absolute scratch.

Robin's tutorials are very good but they are a bit lengthy for the complete beginner I think.

It's come down a lot in price, and since the program is free, you really can't go wrong.

I think I've seen you over at the Poser forum. If you export from Poser into Bryce, you'll run into the 'opaque eyeball' problem. There's tuts for that. Heck, I usually make the background in Bryce and import that into Poser, but that's me..;)

You might want to look into the Bryce for Beginners clas at www.lvsonline.com.

This 6 weeks class has started, but there will be a new one in 5 weeks. At the moment we're more than 30 new brycers in class, and it's fun! :)
