nicely done :) Your Bryce didn't crash mine always crashes even when I don't have much in it .

Odd coincidence, I'm about to see if Bryce works on my 64bit pc.

It's a simple setup with a lot of tweaking until I got it to look just the way I wanted (colors, reflections and levels of light, etc.). This is pretty much the norm for me with any of my Brycing, in fact I think I like the tweaking part the most of all.
The basics; One main Metaball colored red, one main negative Metaball in blue to cut out the middle, the six (skinny) Metaballs that cut out the top, bottom and sides are white, and the six (really skinny) Metaballs that create the grooved cutouts are black (to make them look darker/deeper and to try to give some separation of the blue and white areas.
That's the cool thing about Metaballs of different colors/materials, when they intersect in any way, their colors/mats will fade into one another.
And yup, Metaballs render kinda slowly and booleaned Metaballs render even more slowly and then you activate an HDRI for reflections/lighting and it can take a while, that's why I kept the render dimensions small. I think this took something like 20-25 minutes for me to render. I don't have what is considered a fast pc anymore but it is a quad core so that helps. (running on Win7, 64-bit)
Beyond that, the best explanation would be the scenefile itself, gimmie a minute and I'll upload it to my site and provide a link to download.

Yeah, I haven't noticed any (bad) differences at all between my Windows XP 32-bit and my Windows 7 64-bit, as far as running Bryce, Poser, Studio, etc.

This time, a booleaned group within another booleaned group.

Quote - Wonder what displacement on a metaball will do? I see a crash coming for sure.
Apparently nothing but if you hit convert, the converted item displaces nicely.
Once
in a while I look around,
I see
a sound
and
try to write it down
Sometimes
they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound

I added the displacement to the converted mesh as it (the displace setting) didn't travel with the conversion . It was on the metaball model in the same settings but no joy there.

@bobbystahr - yeah, no displacement on a metaball but cool idea to get it on there further down the pipeline!!!

Lovely stuff AS.
Good idea using displacement on the converted mesh, Bobby.
MalenySteve, does the material survive okay on the converted mesh on those doodled herbivorous dinosaurus balls of yours?

Well, they wouldn't, would they?
You can't turn meat into tatties...
Tsk tsk, I dunno, trust the Bryster...
