Hi! now I feel like a kid in a sweet shop, you mean there are two! Wow!

I noticed while watching this that it appears to be gliding on its feet a little, almost "moonwalk" style. Is this just do to a quick animation put together or is this a problem with the program??

I made the animation today. I've probably set the skeleton to walk too long a distance. I'll shorten his path to cut down the "slide". Animation timing is important otherwise something like this happens. Some tweaking is needed always. Take a look at "Toy Story 1". Look up the scene where Buzz Lightyear has just come from Sid's sisters tea party upstairs. Look at the feet closely and you'll notice some sliding.

Cool thanks.. I was just wondering if it was correctable (is that a word?). Awesome program!! I don't really do animation, but sometime in the future I may have the need, and now I know where to go.

When I first bought Bryce 4 it's the animation that got me hooked. Creating a flying saucer just looked so easy to do with Bryce. And was too. Both Poser and Bryce have sort of charisma and it was then I felt both programs had to be married. The downside to making animations is that it takes a long time. Sure the sample animation on the site came about pretty quickly but when you render at a much higher (1280 x 1024 and higher) those rendertimes take a long time. And there's just no good way around rendertimes since the bottleneck here is Bryce and computers. To get accurate pictures you have to go raytracing like Bryce does -not shadow mapping. The movie and TV people use hundreds of computers to do the job. Yet anyway it's great that even layman can produce something that is truly comparable to "high-end" 3d. Your 3s skills is what counts more. A decade ago there was almost nothing for the consumer with $200 bucks in his pocket for 3d.

SO WHEN IS SUSANNA GOING TO REALIZE THERE ARE MAC USERS OUT THERE????????????????????????

I'm sorry but we are a Windows only shop (please don't throw stones). Susanna program code is pretty strongly tied to windows OS and porting to Mac would be very difficult. Perhaps you could try a Windows emulator in Mac? You are not the only one who has asked this.

You know, given that Bryce started as a Mac program and built its following on Mac users, I'm starting to get more than a little POd at these "windoze only" shops.

atthisstage... you have to realize that 95% of the home users are Windows and thus most, given the choice, will go with Windows because of the larger user base. I started with MAC and have gone to Windows and Linux because of the frustration of finding stuff I wanted for MAC. It's getting a little better but still the wait for ports is always there it seems like..

I recall fondly the first Macs wen they came at the University lab. Man, where they ahead then! And easy to works with. Some other computers were still teletype (instead of a screen you would have a printer to print whatever should be on screen)! Unfortunately the new Macs were way too expensive for a poor student. Furthermore sofware was even more expensive. That is in my humble opinion probably Macs are not as numerous in numbers today. This is off-topic but did anyone catch a docurama miniseries of the beginnings PC way back in the seventies?
