Hello all,

Quick question: I've picked up a copy of Bryce 4 and was wondering if I should take my first step by reviewing the 400+ user guide or if I would be better off jumping right into my Real World Byrce 4 book? Any thoughts? And please keep in mind this will be my first time working in 3D art (or 2D for that matter) so I really don't have much knowledge to build upon.

Thanks Much...

Well I have had Bryce for years and am still a total newbie, having read the Real World book AND the manual several times each.

I would recommend reading the Real World book AT your computer, and using the manual to look up things you require more information or clarification on.

Spend a LOT of time learning the Deep Texture Editor. The DTE is a major key to understanding Bryce. I still don't quite grasp it. ;)

I agree with Kieraw, read the book at the computer and use the manual to clarify funtions or procedures you're unclear about. Kieraw, lol sphere on water how cliche!

PRECISELY, Quikp51! =) But seriously, it's cliche because it's a GREAT place to start. It has ALL the elements you need to get started: an object, a sky, and an infinite plane. You can move the object around to learn the positioning stuff, change camera views, re-texture, add lights, etc.

Like you am a complete novice at Bryce and 3d but found plenty of tutorials on this site and others and jumped in... used the maunual and keep the book to hand to clarify, nothing like getting your hands wet!!!!!!!! I must admit to being hooked!!!! Good Luck!
