Jedswindells have suggested the following for this month's challenge theme.........:

" 'Back to the Beginning'
Remember your first Bryce image? (I'll bet it was a shiny sphere over the sea).
The challenge is to create something amazing with just a sphere,a plane and a terrain!
Pure Bryce,no imports."

The word 'Plane' means a ground plane, not an aircraft - not that anyone would try to take advantage. ;-)

**Good luck to you all. The Entry pages will be up shortly.

****The Deadline will be 12 NOON UK TIME October 31st 2010
**
Contestants are permitted only one (1) entry.

**WARNING!!!!!  Anyone posting finished renders in the galleries before the end of voting will be disqualified from this challenge.

WIPS are fine as long as they are only posted in this thread.
**

Have a question... Can you use more than one sphere, terrain or plane? And can you use one of the primitives, like cube, torus, pyramid, or cone? one of the 2D's?

I think the limitations are pretty strict with this one. Jed said the following:

*"...just a sphere,a plane and a terrain..."

*I would take as one of each.

Bryster, don't forget to check the entry uploads. I am sure with what we've learned during our experiences with Bryce, the simple SOW can be transformed into anything our mind can conjured up. Right?

 Perfect - nice to have a simpler challenge, especially since I'll be gone for a week and only have access to my Mother-In-Laws computer. And maybe I'll get it in on time!


adbc ( ) posted Fri, 08 October 2010 at 7:32 AM

Silly question maybe :
When trying to submit my entry I get the message :
You must attach a file to this contest.
What do you mean ? Is it the BR6 file ?


TheBryster ( ) posted Fri, 08 October 2010 at 7:41 AM

ADBC, don't worry about the file thing. I didn't remove the option box when I set the entry page up. You're only obliged to upload a thumbnail and your challenge entry. If you can't upload your imags, upload the br file. It won't be part of the voting process anyway.

The Bryster,
Thanks, uploaded the BR6 file as well as the image and thumbnail and it seems to be OK, got following message though :
"The file you uploaded was not a valid file type or exceeded the size limits. Your entry was saved without the file(s), and will be reviewed shortly".
I suppose it'll be OK.

My first  Bryce Monthly Challenge :-) , great theme.


lordgoron ( ) posted Mon, 11 October 2010 at 1:13 PM

Ultimately an extremely fancy theme ;)

I can hardly remember my very first Bryce image back in 97... sure must have been a sphere :biggrin: At the end of that first night I managed to render a scene with a submarine (made out of spheres  😊) emerging between icebergs..

Let's see if I'm still familiar with spheres.

Mmmh...

I uploaded the files again, this time with an empty (small) Brycefile to dodge the errormessage but this came up:

The file you uploaded was not a valid file type or exceeded the size limits. Your entry was saved without the file(s), and will be reviewed shortly.

Hopefully the images found their way to the server.

To all that get the error when uploading image for the challenge.... Simply put the same image file that you are uploading into the file box. Renderosity does not recognize bryce file formats.

TheBryster will have modify the upload file boxes so the next time there will be no or less confusion, eh?

The thing was that I forgot to untick the box that requires entrants to upload a file. Once the challenge is running I can't undo that. My bad.

Use Thunderstone's tip, above:
Simply put the same image file that you are uploading into the file box.

I did and it works like a charm!

Got the same error message - hope it all uploaded okay:) I don't usually enter the competitions just because I get stuck for inspiration when given a set scene to create, but I couldn't let this one slip by...great fun!:)

Although this challenge makes no mention of postwork I would say it is permitted but should be kept to a minimum.
