I'm going for mostly booleans, and i'm having to use my old Bryce 5.5 at work, so i dont have the luxury of 'C' collapse. let see how big it gets before meltdown.

Oooh Shiny!!!!

 Freakin awesome and as good as yer word...and my word you're faaaast mate...love italics on the word fast...really makes it move along..LOL...you have a great sense of detail...it's what makes your stuff so fun...look for the star destroyer in a render from me soon if I can ever get enough time set aside for a huge Bryce render...freakin app renders slower than Terragen 2 which I didn't think was possible..and I do my 'fro bux work' on my big workstation.. ...

Excellent stuff mate.... BTW, hows the easist way to give rounded corners to boxes?   Afraid even though I can push Bryce to the limits, thats one thing that has always stumped me LOL!

Yes, I would love to see a primitives/boolean/lattice view /unshaded of those corners in bryce! Would help a LOT!!
Also, the bent pipes and details, are those symmetrical lattices?

Not quite mate, I mean, take a box, a six sided box, and instead of it having pointy corners, they would be rounded.

Thanks for the links, but I would like to know how to construct it in Bryce.

Load a cylinder and stretch it...add a sphere either end and join up as in the pic...then just fill in the sides with terrains!

LOL, It's one of those things with humans and lateral thinking.... some people.. i.e. me, are just incapable of seeing certain forms of construction unless someone shows you how.
Thanks for that Johnyf.

I just tried doing that in Bryce and I have to say, it;s so difficult to make it look right, I would rather eat a bannana peel!

LOL...Weezer this...I have to see! :lol:

ROFL...did you forget to shave this morning?

Yes...and I have been lacking potassium...

LOL...from the skins no doubt?

Quote - LOL...Here you go Dhama your rounded corner with all due respects to rj001:

yeah I did see that one mate, but I could already do that version of it.... it was the 8 corner box that I had difficulty with. :lol:

OMG! You did that in a day?  I am sooooooo out of practise.

err...... to be brutally truthfull i did it in my lunch break...

Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh Yeeeeeeeeeeessssssss!!!!!!....I just love it when people are “brutally truthfull”.....brutalize us some more, will ya please!

 nice pod in good time...you win the Bryce Speed Modeling Prize for today...no prize, just kudos.. ...

I'm always impressed by people who can model in Bryce...getting a modeling program can distract from the sharpe angles and such. Keep 'em comin'

Awesome work, its amazing how your Bryce models look excactly as good (can you say that??) as your autocad (is it?) models! Whats the object and polygon count so far?

In my experience, collapsed objects are just (or, should I say, 'at least' as sluggish in 6.1... And, the bounding boxes reflect the missing bits, so maybe it's keeping them in some ghosted form?

Stunning, stunning, stunning, by the way.  I'm very much afraid I won't even be able to look at the clunky little escort cruiser I was working on now that I've seen this.  :-)

I know what you mean HonorMac, you spend what seems like an age producing a model, then you look at something by Rj001 or maybe Vorban (insane Bryce modeller) and you go.......bugger!

Absolutely awesome stuff. Somehow it seems a cacophony of musical instruments to me. I see keyboards and cello necks.
