How long have you used Bryce?: Since Bryce 2
What kind of art do you create usually?: *All sorts very much by mood - bryce now tends to be used to create terrains that I then export.
Would you ever move over to Vue?: Doubtful, I have transitioned to mainly model and render from Blender

How long have you used Bryce?:

What kind of art do you create usually?:
Landscape, Abstract, Jewels, SCIFI, Fantasizes, Models,....
Would you ever move over to Vue?:
I use VUE regularly for studies and when I like the result I publish in my gallery; but if Bryce didn't come with new resources, VUE can be my second brush.
What is your most favourite Bryce art that you have done and why?
I am not a lot of friend of landscapes, I prefer my models or even working with other artists' models. The textures, colors, and illumination are much more realistic. Perhaps for not having a lot of technique in landscapes or even for the deficiency of Bryce in realism.

Quote - ***Would you ever move over to Vue?:

Thanks for taking part... no really!
A real thanks to the rest of you guys, nice to know there is a working community here, was starting to think it was a bit shallow since I don't see many Bryce art... well moreso for Vue, which is why I asked the question. It's a fact that Vue can do more than Bryce, but I like Bryce, and I hope version 7 comes up with the goods Vue users are so good at rubbing our faces in about.
Keep em coming...... ;-)
Name: deadwarrior
Age: 56
Area: Los Angeles
How long have you used Bryce?: Since Bryce 5.0 became available.
What kind of art to you create usually?: Landscapes, Fantasy, Surrealism, SciFI (sometimes).
Would you ever move over to Vue?: I haven't tried it, but then I like to try different types of 3D programs. I'd love to try VUE and matte scenes or objects into Bryce. Besides, I like to keep a diversified art toolbox and not concentrate on one particular program. (Though Bryce has become my favorite and remains so).
What is your most favourite Bryce art that you have done and why?: I'm still geting a getting the feel when it comes to Bryce and since I don't have a body of work posted in Bryce, I really can't say.

How long have I used Bryce?; since I got Bryce 2 on a mag cover, whenever that was.
What kind of art do I create usually: I hate to be predictable, it depends how the mood takes me.
Would I ever move over to vue?; Absolutely no, tried a free demo once, hated it, haven't changed my mind yet.
What is my most favourite bryce art that I have done and why? Now that is a good question. My most popular with others here was "Peace in the valley", my most succesful elsewhere was "On St Patrick's day" (the 2005 version, because a hard copy of it is now in the heritage centre of the village I showed, and my most poignant for me was "The last rose of Summer" becuse it was posted originally on the 1st anniversary on my eldest son's death.

What kind of art do you create usually?: Whatever comes to mind. Though it seems whatever I can do with HDRI nowdays. Check out my gallery (http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/member.php?my_gallery)
Would you ever move over to Vue?: There's no need to insult me with the V word.
What is your most favourite Bryce art that you have done and why? Tsubo Niwa. I love the color of grass, shallow water, and the soft glow of lanterns in twilight. It is a courtyard garden--tsubo niwa--which is an expression of a rich culture. There's history involved, and although Japan is a 1st world, technological country, there's a connection to the past. It's also symbolic for inner tranquility. And courtyard gardens are usually hidden, often secret gardens, tucked away in a cornor, in a room, between houses, in an alley. They are often a source of awe and fascination to me.

"Norh Sea Sentinal" because it was my first posting and I still think it is my best Bryce work. Why is this italics I can't change it? See I'm dumb at some things.
It's italic because when you copied and pasted from the original it was in italic...and you didn't change it. :D
next time it does that to you..just highlite the text you want to change back... go to top of reply window and hit the italic button..or whatever you want to change.

**What is your most favourite Bryce art that you have done and why?
I'm quite happy with "**Where's My Ball Gone?" I liked the textures and this is also an animation - the quality of which isn't great but that's because the original had to be so small., it's a Bryce thing...
*http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1436335
*I've also recently been using it to create a company promotion for an internet TV & Radio service, a short animation, but no link for that as the final version hasn't been seen by the client yet.

**Gog,
**> Quote - Fran, if you're on your way to Newport, drop in on the way by, I'm just north of the M4 bristol turning....
It's not actually firm yet - there seem to be a few problems - like I dunno yet if I'll get the maintainance grant - and without that I can't afford to go, plus now it seems you aren't allowed to park a car there - so how the heck I'm supposed to get there with all my stuff - plus the vast list of equipment we're supposed to bring with us as well - without me being able to pack it all in the car - well.... I dunno at all.
Looks like I'll have to get someone (dunno who) to drive me up there and then abandon me with all my belongings - in - it seems, a very unsafe area... (talk of private insurance needed - which BTW I've tried to get before but can't find any insurers who can do that)...
Oh gawd...
My nerves are beginning to fray rather.
Otherwise Gog, (lol!) I'd be happy to drop in on the way... It'd be nice to meet another Rendo denizen...
P.S. Anybody know what an "optical 8-camera Vicon Motion Capture facility" - might be when it's at home?

Age: 50

How long have you used Bryce?: since Bryce 2.
What kind of art do you create usually?: 'realistic' landscape scenery.
Would you ever move over to Vue?: maybe one day but Bryce is easier to use for my simple brain.
What is your most favourite Bryce art that you have done and why? (*must be in your gallery for us to see): ''*Wet and Dry' - I think I've actually acheived a quite realistic depth, something which I believe is dependent of the light direction and possibly scource. And the textures worked perfectly in this.
Thanks for taking part. :-)
