Intersting that this discussion occurs this month... The challenge this month specifically stated that it would lend itself to use of poser type figures (perhaps more than some in the past). My entry this month uses many elements modeled in Bryce, one Poser character, and a few elements modeled in 3DStudioMax. The ability to use all of these elements together is a strength of Bryce. Bryce is great for outdoor scenes, but it's great for many other things also. Based on the way the voting has gone for the past few months (and the images that I've voted on), I'd hate to see the voting split based on "artistic" and "use of Bryce" categories. Both end up hard to define. Someone could model a huge building in Bryce but someone else may think that it was modeled in another program and not consider that "use of Bryce" simply because it's not an outdoor landscape scene. I really enjoy the idea of the contest and have learned a lot from the images that I have entered. Sometimes I've used them to develop a new technique that I'm trying to learn... Thanks to everyone for having a contest section and for realizing that it only improves all of our abilities to participate.
