I'll be damned ..Your right, I just tried it hmmm.. well one possible workaround I did was to create a 2d square, and map the image onto it. you might have to play with the scaleing on it but I'll be damned If I can figger out why just opening the image wont work,....good luck and let me know how it's working out okay? thanxzalot Hawkfyr

Hi, no need to convert to a sky, simply select "open Image" on your Bryce file menu, the find your background and thats it , good luck. Hawkfyr

I think it's a great Idea, I encourage my kids to create with 3d. and they've made a few images.Kids have Great imaginations, and You never know we could prolly learn some things from them as well. count me in for participating Hawkfyr

Perhaps a bus stop and benches. Great work FastTraxx. Im using your other city in a current project soon to be done hopefully.

I like the underlighting effect.

I noticed it too, Ithought it was my ISP

Thanx colm. It does help, I have an 8.4 gig WD drive. and a 3.2 alternate (backup/storage) drive .The 8.4 is pretty fast. The way I've been adding sound is importing avi into Poser the importing sound and re rendering it together . Primitive but still worked. I'll check out the software you've suggested, and hopefully find somthing I like Thaxzagain Hawkfyr

I've never had this prollem, Ijust launch other apps from the start bar (PC) dont know about mac,But I've renderd animations in Bryce and Poser at the same time.

Well said, and My wife thinks so too.:)~

I very well may try that next.I have taken my first stap at a sci fi image, when it's done I'll play with the ship Idea, I have a pretty good explosin I could use.http://www.geocities.com/hawkfyr/explosion.html

Thanx LilWolff I agree, I am not ashamed of my disease,(shame only helps feed the denial)nor do I spend time trying to figure out HOW and Why I have it,fact is...I have it, wondering why will keep me from recovering because I may never figger it out, that would be like saying "Im not gunna jump from this sinking ship until I know Why it's sinking". I just do what I can day to day and Bryce really helps too.

refering to bodybuilder thread: willow said:I'm very sorry. As a new member you may not be aware of our policies on image content. However, we can not allow this type of imagery to be posted here, because of younger viewers and parental concerns. We try to balance as much as possible to allow as much artistic freedom as we can. Thank you for understanding. than I said:Now wait a minuete, I'm the last person to endorse yanking pictures because of nudity,and I hav,nt seen the image in question. but that doesnt matter. two posts back on this forum is two images of a nude woman.(very well done I might add)...If the concern is younger viewers and parental concerns , why cant this artist post his nude male? then Grey said:Frontal Male Nudity is where most people draw the line... just ask the Motion Picture Association of America. An NC17 image is considerd unsuitable for minors even in the company of an adult, and will get parents put in prison. If that is not clear enough for you, I'm sorry Then he closed the thread, But what about that last comment?"If that is not clear enough for you, I'm sorry" was that really nessecary? all I did was ask a question. I dont think that it's they're policies so much as it is they're attitudes towards anyone who questions the policies. Hawkfyr

I'm sorry LilWolf I didnt address the "AA" (And that is correct smiles) idea you had. I Myself have struggled with Alcohlism(There goes My anonimity)Recovery and this particular pic has deep meaning for me.Although I'm a male, I used the woman to suggest that Alcoholism isn't Gender specific.(and the poser male is dorky also :)~ I do know that AA is an organization based on attraction rather than promotion. so if I sold it to them,I (personally)would be in violation of traditions. I very well may polish it up a bit and send it the NewYork office. and let them do whatever they want with it.anybody may do with this image as they wish, if it reaches someone,and helps them,I cant put a price on that. Thanx again Hawkfyr

Thanx LilWolf...Yeah , The beauty of layering is that you can always go back and tweak it some more. for instance ,dropping the woman and arm layers down so the top of her head isnt cut off. nonproblematic. I'm just starting to scratch the surface of uncovering the Power of Photoshop, the tutorials on the CD were very helpfull, and some on the net also. another cool thing is most plugins for photoshop will work in Bryce as well, I just create a dirctory ( I call mine "Master Plugins Folder") and put"ALL" filters and plug ins in there.and in Bryce , just point to it and "Vavoom" a 2 mile long list of filters ( I do the same In Photoshop Too,Keep in mind to copy filters into this directory,You might not want them all the time." It takes longer for the application to load all thoes filters) Note: that page curl filter works great on a terrain or symetrical lattice as an ocean wave. :)~ ( This was not intended to drift from the topice of Bryce)

Actually it's a combination of Bryce/ Poser/ and the "Page curl" was done in Photoshop.I did the glass from a tutorial in Bryce The Lady was done in Poser(of corse) and The page curl was done in Photoshop ...I separated the arm and made it a separate layer the staked the sequence from there. arm is top layer pictuere of glass is the second layer. and the woman was the third layer..the bottle was an after thought as you might guess from the lack of shadow.( the pic was unbalenced ) Thank you for the reply. :)~ see more here~~~>http://www.geocities.com/hawkfyr/index.html?938242342470
