Actually, I've done it with two other artists. (Hinchu and ShadowOne). Its quite fun. There's two ways of doing this. The site above is where the two images are. Scan down the right side and find the 2d Photoshop image that has the text under it. This is a marker for what I want to show you. 1. What I did with ShadowOne (Eric Weeber) was to transfer .br5 back and forth until finished. Look at the site and count to the 5th up from the bottom on the left side. Its the planet/sun with a ring just to the left of the photoshop 2d image that is identifed as a 2d image. You can see another collaborative work with Mr. Weeber at http://www.3dcommune.com/3d/galview.mv?Bryce+WsPHHOebg+1012256708 2. The other way to do it is for the artists to open Bryce and chat. This was a concept by Hinchu (Greg Tatum) who's explanation web site is down at the moment. One does something and describes in the chat what they did. The others do it. Then the next artist inline does something and describes what they did. etc. Go to my scifi site highlighted above, count two up on the right from the 2d PS image and that's it. Lotsa stars, some planets and a blob. Pros and cons of both. 1. The collaborative work... Pro: lets the artist really get into modifying and tweaking. Can fix or elaborate on the items that the other did. Con: Takes a while for the file to come back as people's schedules are often slow. Can disappoint when a material you made gets trashed, etc. Final result: Usually spectacular. 2. The 'tell me' method... Pro: You learn a lot of technique from the explanation and it forces you to be accurate in giving your explanation to others. Makes you think about what you're doing. Faster completion because the explanation can be done by email or chat. Con: Have to be online at the same time as everyone else. Final results: All images will vary wildly and tons of fun. Suggestion 1: we try both, but I think the Hinchu method will educate us the best as to each other's techniques and let us finish if someone drops out. Suggestion 2: we hook up on the Corel server to chat about this in their Brycetalk room. Not many people visit there, but the ones who do are master brycers. Everyone is very open to new visitors and taking over the server chat is A-OK. Instructions on how to get there either though web access or mIRC are at www.annsartgallery.com/links.html Cheers.
