*I think we are getting too carried away with this...if we say that to post an image in the Bryce gallery that you cannot use imported figures or objects as a central element in your image,regardless of whether or not you could have created them yourself,then you are stifling the artist's creativity...and if this applies to Bryce,then it had better apply to Vue,Carrara and all other apps that do not allow the creation of figures etc. within them.Are we prepared to go this far?I see where dhama is coming from,and where ICM's points are valid,but Bryce allows the importing of objects,it's part of the application.It allows the use of photos on 2D planes to be inserted in to cut down render time and populate scenes with detail,in fact there are tutorials on this very site that show this.

I agree with grafikeer.

I use Bryce for all my images. I import models from D|S too, because you just cannot make alot of those in Bryce - let's face it Bryce is not a proper modelling app like C4D for example, so as I love using Bryce (I am a big Bryce fan, even with it's problems) and want free reign on my creativity, using whatever models I need to to convey my scence, then I have to use models. Until Bryce becomes a full modelling application I have no choice.

So I use a mix of model and stuff from Bryce. I use alot of Bryce textures, even on those imported models. I use Bryce terrains, sky lab etc, primitives etc. 

Does that mean therefore, because I have imported models that my work could not be said to be based on Bryce?????

I use postwork to whateve level I need to get the right look. I have never found Bryce images satisfactory from my point of view without it. But I would be very disappointed that because of that I could no longer post in the Bryce gallery. Like I said, I am a fan of Bryce, and I have seen some amazing work created using Bryce, with postwork, which had encouraged me. If they had been in the Mixed Medium gallery I might not have found them.

I feel a bit irked at the thought. It sounds a bit like some of you are saying an image has to have a certain 'look' to be called Bryce.

I would be interested to know if my images would be classed as Mixed Medium
