I'm new to all this. Any ideas and tips, anyone?

Read. Look. Play. :) Read the excellent tutorials about Bryce. The help a LOT understanding Bryce. Look in the gallerys. Even by looking on a Bryce picture you can learn. Try to find out how the image was done and watch the composition. Play with Bryce. I've spend hundreds of hours just playing around and testing weird things with Bryce. Some of my works are a result of playing around in the beginning and then develope what I've created. And: have FUN. :) Take care, Jimi

Look down a few threads, there's an online course for cheap.

Well there's the standard list: Use lots of tutorials and play around with bryces features a lot. I've been using bryce for more than 3 years now and I can still just sit back and mess around with the tools available in bryce and discover a new effect. You never stop learning. Two other things you can do are: -Look at other peoples images/models and trie to figure out how they where made. It provides inspiration and a better feel for what you can do with the program. -Get somebody to show you some tricks. if you can.

RTM... read the manual. It has lots of easy tutorials to get you started. As you advance, there are more advanced tutorials available here and all over the web. Like the others have said above, play and experiment. The more you use Bryce, the more you will learn. Hope you enjoy Bryce as much as I do. :^)

Get Real World Bryce 4 from amazon.com and read all 1000 pages :)

Model in greyscale first. Renders are faster and you get a feel for how primitives and booleans work together.

All of what they said, plus: to learn how to texture and light, download complex free models then texture, light, and render them. You will learn a lot. It is also fun, kind of reminiscent of coloring-books. A relaxing burn-out activity for when the stress of learning a new app gets the best of you.
