- "You do understand that if you do insist on "100% Bryce" you are naturally excluding a lot of people who haven't already developed advanced modeling skills with metaballs/booleans." - That's what the Gurus' Contest is all about! After all, I don't feel bad about not being able to compete in the Grand Prix 'cos I'm not that good at controlling an F1 McClaren. ;) But flippancy aside, I think the idea is just to prevent some people having an unfair advantage over others. That means the guys with access to 5K-worth of modelling s/w, or those who've spent days (and s) downloading meshes designed by someone else, etc. But most people have a 2D paint prog knocking about, so IMO that should be allowed (although it wouldn't bother me if it wasn't - the Bryce Purists Contest sounds like a good idea). Bryce is great because you needn't know every little function in order to produce a decent image. I posted on the forum last week-ish because I couldn't get multi-replicate to work. The attached link is my first attempt at modelling using MR (although I still can't use it very well!) - no booleans, no metaballs, just spheres. It's not great, I admit, but it shows how modelling in Bryce can be simple with a bit of lateral thinking!
