If you have Bryce 6.1 and to export to Bryce 7.1 Pro I would suggest doing via bryce due to one thing i read on wikipedia Daz Studio 3 seemed to kill Bryce 6.1 and because of this they bought out an update Bryce 6.3.

The Address is above for Bryce wiki

Try updating Bryce 6.1 and see if you can get it to 6.3 that will make exporting easier.

Well Good Luck and Happy Brycing

Hi Bryster

Your Welcome if you or anyone needs something let me know

all the best

Dear vangogh

I suggest you don't open photo textures in Bryce 7.1 Pro because it immediately crashes I would either carry on using Bryce 6.1 or create a .obp file and then import it into Bryce 7.1 Pro. NOTE: once you have save a file in Bryce 6.1 and then resave in Bryce 7.1 Pro you will not be able to use it again in Bryce 6.1 so you may want to consider whether it is worth just working in 6.1.

Good Luck and Happy Brycing

Hi mbouncher

The recommend Ram for Bryce is at least 1 Gigabyte maybe you can add more ram to your motherboard that may make it faster but I can't say if its because of the ram because I had the same amount of problems with it and I have an Mac OSX Snow Leopard running at 3 Gigabytes of ram. I know a diagram for motherboards can help but judging by what you have said your computer is an older generation.

If you suspect it is the ram there may be a way to speed it up you computer.

For Windows

go to start and type in the search msconfig and then click on it and choose start up untick everything except your online security that will speed it up a bit. You can now buy netbooks with 1 gig of ram for about £299.99p or less but you want to go for something thats going to last more than 5 mins so maybe go for a samsung or toshiba netbook.

Sorry I can't really suggest anything more helpful I would stick to Bryce 5 or maybe Bryce 6.3 (if you have it)

Good Luck

Karl

Do you still need these Numbers in Bryce? if so let me know and I will make you some in an .br6 file  or .obp if you are interested they would be made in Boolean form.

Cheers

Karl

Thats ok ddaydreams

its ashame it doesn't save in either .br6 or .br7 I discovered this problem when I wanted to import a version of my analytical engine from bryce 7 to bryce 6 (at that time Bryce 7 was PLE and restricted my work to uncommercial I got bryce 6 from an magazine called 3d world it is a great mag lots of free software with it.) I had to remake the engine in Bryce 6.3.

Cheers

I agree with you 100% on that mikedaddysmooth don't get me wrong Bryce is the easiest 3d program to learn IMHO and I love it when it works but you do get <censored) when it decides to throw a tantrum and lose a lot of the work you lose. Perticulary if you have worked on it for a long long time.

The trouble is it is a computer program and at the end of the day all computer programs have their flaws and glitchs.

ddaydreams there is one thing you might need to know once the bryce 6.3 file has been saved in Bryce 7. 1 Pro it will no longer work in Bryce 6.3

the invalid address issue in Mac OSX Snowleopard is a daz3d.com.apple.plist problem. Some people on Daz forums say to delete the .plist but I suggest you only do that if you know it won't keep causing these problems because now I can't even find the files the computer keeps babbling about my theory it is that certain bryce file gone corrupted. Another Thing if you ever decide to buy a new mac to put Bryce on wait and see if Mac OSX Mountain Lion has good reviews and is Bryce Compatible Because you can't revert back to snowleopard with a new mac OSX lion because the components rely on that specific operating system.

Thanks

Karl

I have exactly the same problem with Bryce 7.1 Pro I have found you can't import pictures in it without the colour being changed and then it crashes (pity Bryce 7.1 Pro has a Great new features but I have reverted back to 6.3 because the program crashes every 5 minutes.

I suggest you make something with a picture in Bryce 6.3 and then try making it a .obp file then import it to bryce 7 pro. another thing you might want to take into account if mac users get this message when Bryce crashs

Bad Process

KERN ERROR Invalid address

its a lot more said in it than that but what I suggest you do is move everything from the folder you have your work in to another folder and then delete the Old Folder and see if that helps it helped me out a lot.

Hi I made a mistake in the typo

I meant use negative and Positive Metaballs I have not been able to do it but someone on the daz3d forum has he made an alien head from positive and negative metaballs. But whenever I try it refuses to do so.

Karl

Hope you find this also interesting

Hi Jack Casement

No problem it will make your rendering time longer because the quality will be improved lights are probably the worst offenders of slow rendering in super fine but the results are much better.

Cheers

Karl

I am going to attach a file that might help you with your problem  it shows you how to change the quality of your work. I hope this helps you out.

Good Luck

Karl

You can also make a wall using lots of individual pieces (this is good if you want to blow it apart it won't do that on a single cube)

here is an address to a forum called Brycetech it has lots of cool bryce effects you can learn 

http://brycetech.daz3d.com/

You can also do lots of other cool effects like blowing space ships up and stuff.

Hope this has helped a bit.

Hi Jack Casement

I have an Idea that might Work do you have a copy of Bryce 5 or Bryce 5.5(full verison) If you do try importing them into that version save them as skellington.br5 and try importing them in that way. if you don't have version 5 or 5.5 you could probably use 6.1. 

The Free Version of Bryce 7 in my view is limiting and I couldn't import models made in Bryce 7 PLE to Bryce 6.3 So Maybe try to import them in an other version of Bryce. I maybe wrong but thats a few idea's that might work.

Hope that helps you

Karl

Thank you both for your advice

You have helped me out a lot. I Will suggest they use Daz Studio as I haven't got it and I am a Bryce Man all the way (although I do use Photoshop Elements 9.03)

Thanks Muchly

Karl
