I was thinking, actually I was just curious, how long has each of you (as in everyone here in the Bryce forum) used Bryce for your artwork?

ummm...dunno...must be just under 3 years for me.

I'm ashamed to say, but I bought B3 from Metacreations, so a while now.

2 years this past August

14 months

BTW,when did Corel buy out Metacreations?...

Corel bought Bryce. Eovia bought Carrara, Curious Labs bought Poser. Quite the mess. about two years ago +- a year.

Oooohhh, I noticed not too much support coming from Corel...I do like Carrara though haven't done much in it, but I'm totally lost in Poser, I seem to twist off body parts alot...:)

Again poser is a program in which I'm behind in my updates. I have poser 4 no propack. in P4 you can set the limits of a body part manually. double click the dialsetting you want and a dialogue box comes up. It's a lot of work but can be worth it if you remember to check the use limits box in the figure menu. Generally I use the 'two arrows' key to translate with the mouse and if i go to far immediately click edit/undo before I do anything else. when I'm done fine adjust by typing in values within the dials.(again, you double click to access the dialogue.) . . . bikermouse looks up at the Forum Header. Hey, this is the Bryce Forum! oh well, "... and having written moves on . . .". - TJ

Speaking of Bryce when do we vote on this month's challenge?

Zhann, Agent Smith will anounce it in a post. I think he must either be working on it now or getting some well deserved rest. It should be soon either way. BTW I think mad max has your answer on the other thread, It didn't seem completely clear to me, but It sounds like he knows what to do. If it's not clear to you, perhaps you could get him to elaborate. - TJ

About 18 months on and off.

I bought Bryce2 waaaaay back in 1996, I'm using Bryce5 now. That's over six years.

Since February. This year, of course. That's ... eight months.

Since Sept '94 - can't believe it's been 8 years!

9 months

We are using Bryce 5 for 10 months now and love to explore it. Learning every day. Being sculptors in stone it was a revelation for us and it still is. Willem and Madeleine

I've had Bryce for about 2 1/2 years, since the Great Collapsing Metacreational Frungdung allowed me to acquire some really nice software at a really good price. But I've only gotten serious about using it and the other 3D software I got in the last 6 months or so. I wish I had gotten into this when I was younger and able to pick things up a little quicker...

I was given a copy of Bryce 5 in August of this year, so 2 mos?

9 of your earth months.

I started with a hand me down copy of Bryce 2 about 6 years ago. wasn't until I went out and bought 4 (still metacreations at that time) that I really started to play with it.

Ummmm...just a little over 1 year now.

I started Bryceing in the summer of 1998, so 4 years now.

First started toying with Bryce 4 about 2 years now but not much, but didn't start seriously using it till after bryce 5 came out.

Since June of this year

I've had access to Bryce 4 for two years, I just really started messing with it these past few months. I have it at work (mac) only, so I can only use it when my job has slack time. Probably just as well, otherwise I might stay up late doing 'just a little bit more'. :) Lin

6 years Am I the only old one left?

I got Bryce 2 many years ago but I must admit that I hardly used it. Now I have Bryce 5 and use it about every day, I got B5 when it came out and I guess that thinking about how much it cost has made me work with it all the more.

I've started out with MetaCreations Bryce 4, 2 years and 2 months ago. Poser was like 2 and a half years ago. Using Bryce 5 now a little (more and more). Challenge voting is coming, finishing it up tonight. AgentSmith

I started about 3 mos ago, so I'm still learning, just bought the biggest book I've ever seen, Real World Bryce. The guy at the bookstore store knows I do digital art and commented "A little light reading, huh..." I hope to learn wonderous things...:)

"Real World Bryce" is literally the Bryce Bible. No other book comes close to it. It is freaking big, huh? As I'm sure you now know...you will see clay's work in there.

Yeah, the book weights in at 3lbs and 2.25 inches thick, my other books are soooo jealous! =} No, I wasn't aware Clay's work was in it, I'll definitely pay close attention...

Coming up on 4 years for me for Bryce and 6 months with Poser. I'm off and on, but lately its been a great hobby to come home and render.

About eight months, on and off, I suppose.

Allengraph- WOW!

Started w/ Bryce 3 in early 2000. Got Bryce 4 early in 2001. No Bryce 5 yet, as my ancient pentiumsaurus isn't up the the strain. Hope to upgrade sometime & then go for B5.

3 years here,, cant resist.. allengraph ,,,, do you know where can i get that first version of Bryce??

1998 Bryce, 1992 Computer graphics.
