Well, so it is then, Bryster. It seems I managed to upset someone so I should be more careful surely. My thoughts are that It is a shame that a forum member actually felt the need to initiate a thread to explain that not all of his models were made in Bryce. Why should that even matter? I think the reason we care is because we all know that it is not easy to model certain things in Bryce so we are impressed with detailed Bryce models. No doubt. Still, if one is limiting themselves deliberately in any way that is surely foolish just in and of itself. The purists will always run into difficulty as extremists when moderates get involved. There is no harm in learning other modeling software to supplement your Bryce modeling skills.

I do not see why anyone should ever feel the need to apologize for modeling outside of Bryce. The fact that I might create a model in Maya and still bother to import that model into Bryce because I like the look of the final render says alot about Bryce as a renderer. That's all I'm saying. I for one will never apologize for modeling an element in Hex, Truespace, Maya, Carrara, Blender, or any ot the other 8000 programs I own. The final render should be what really matters most to the community at large.

If I offended I do apologize.
