WARNING!!

If you want your BRYCE 6.0 RIGHT AWAY, do NOT order the Content DVD in the same order.  My purchase is "being processed"  because some of the items (ala the DVD) are not available yet.  Hence my credit card has not been billed and I'm stuck in limbo even through I checked the "send out of stock items separately".

Hopefully this will be fixed shortly.

See the Bryce 6 thread further down.  Hints are flying thick and fast.  Inuendo is that it may be first released to DAZ Platinum Club members to get a ramp-up of the server loading.  Nothing said, this is just me reading VERY liberally between the lines of a number of official comments.

And yes, there is a REAL coupon in my DAZ Account.

Brett

Seems Bryce 5.0 is still up there as well!

B5.0 Content File is also still available.  Presume that as it is still available for download that you can still get a serial number from DAZ when you run the program for the first time (no promises, sorry).

Bryce 5 to Bryce 6 CONTENT UPGRADE coupons are appearing in PC members account RIGHT NOW!  Maybe even in Bryce 5.5 owner's accounts.

Quote: "The only tiny little niggle is that I seem to have $1.53 left and nothing I can use it on."

Come November 1 there will be another little $5 voucher appearing in your account.  $6.53 versus having to wait 4 weeks at 4-5 new PC items a week at $1.99 versus....  Choice, choice and more choice.

Brett

Most of the items on the right are NOT included.  On the right is more of a promotions/advertising area promoting products from DAZ in general.  They are promoting the David Figure and he can easily appear both under the PC Bonus items and on the right.

Yes, you DO get 25 items as both coupons are valid.  However I would do two separate purchases, one of 10 and one of 15, and apply the appropriate coupon to each purchase.  By the talk in the forums there has been the odd glitch and it can take a few days (since this is a long weekend!) to sort it out.

Brett

You can load both figures simultaneously into Daz Studio before before transfering them.  Rebooting your system and running Bryce right after helps a lot (Bryce hates fragmented memory) both in speed and avoiding crashes.

If you want to import them individually you have to "break" the DAZ Studio link on the first figure before going back to DAZ Studio, deleting the first figure and loading the 2nd.  You'll find "Break D|S Link under the "Objects" menu. 

Brett

PC Coordinators just stated that they've fixed the PC item in Bonus Section problem.  Now you have the choice of using your coupon for the 15 and still getting any others you need for the usual $1.99 PC price!  Probably the biggest issue/complaint so far is now fixed! 

And this weeks new PC Club items should be up soon.  We are promised some creepy and scarey items.  $1.99 for members, anywhere from $9.95 to $19.95 or higher for non-members.  You might pay for your signup fee just with the savings TODAY!

Brett

Actually the 175 extra are only there until October 31 (unless they find a workaround that restores their PC pricing to PC Club members sooner, has caused some quite heated discussions/rants in several DAZ threads).  DAZ says anyone signing up to the Platinum Club before October 31 gets the 10 PC Bonus item coupon and the 15 PC Bonus item coupon.

However it has been CLEARLY stated many times by PC administrators that ALL PCBONUS item coupons expire November 30!  All of them.  No new ones will be issued after the end of October.

But in the ArtZone Chat today, they did promise a new promotion for renewals coming very soon.

Blue's Dragon's trick works on the hanger as well.

I've tried it a couple of times for single images.  Think I've gotten it to connect twice out of about 8 tries.  It's really set up to handle animation sequences.  It can help a lot in increasing rendering speed, but it does seem tough to keep the network settings configured.

Brett

I have been able to go back to Studio from Bryce a couple of times.  But I find it is really sensitive.  If you haven't broken the links to Studio then you should be able to go back into Studio and make the changes.

Hopefully someone else will chime in as I haven't tried a lot due to the fact I had Bryce crashing frequently for a bit.  Seems much more stable now after some other tweaks (change in video card, etc.).

Brett

The Studio / Bryce interface is from Studio to Bryce.  Start Bryce, and then click on the blue D|S button to go into DAZ Studio.  Then load whatever you want (though it takes some experimenting as larger scenes with multiple items sometimes get very difficult to import) into Studio and then click the Bryce button or exit Studio to transfer the items into Bryce.

I'll start up Bryce and build up some terrain or scene.  Then I'll open D|S through the link button (blue button).  In DAZ Studio I'll open a previously saved scene or build up a scene (figures, props, etc.), set the poses, etc. the way I want them and then return to Bryce (exit D|S or hit the Bryce button).  Bryce will now import the Studio items converting them into a Bryce item.  Once the items are in Bryce you can use Bryce's tools to move them around and rescale them, etc.

Be careful with the size.  I find I can usually do a vehicle plus a couple of figures, but much more than that and I'll crash Bryce during the transfer.  Once the items are in Bryce, you can break their link to D|S which will allow you to go back into DAZ Studio and bring more things in.  In the following scene, I was able to build and texture all 5 jets in D|S and then pull them through the D|S Link into Bryce to render.  The jets were built from Davorama FVCS and each has 5-6 different texture maps (times 3 schemes) so it is a fairly complex transfer.  As long as I did the transfer using a new session of Windows (ala just rebooted) with Bryce all that I loaded, it went very smoothly.  If I'd been in and out of a lot of other programs and hadn't rebooted for several days there was an 80-90% chance Bryce would crash during the transfer.

I don't believe it's currently possible to bring an object directly into Bryce and then send it to D|S.

Should we do this once, once a day, several times a day????  There has been the odd hour lately the speed was up.
