I use an invisible sphere to set the focal point where I want it to be.

Thread: depth of field | Forum: Bryce
Attached Link: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1402723
The two most obvious controls you have over depth of field are lens focal length and aperture.
The focal length of the lens, briefly, can be termed the "size" of the lens, i.e. (say) 28mm or 500mm; 28mm is a wide angle lens, 500mm is a telephoto lens. It refers to the distance behind the lens (in mm) at which the lens focuses the image it is being pointed at. The longer the lens, the less depth of field you get, conversely, the wider the lens, the more depth of field you get..
The aperture is what you control with the aperture ring and is usually referred to by it's "f-stop"...an f-stop of 1.2 is wide open, and one of 64 is tiny. The aperture's primary function is to control how much light gets through the lens. The wider your f-stop, the less depth of field you have ; conversley, the smaller the f-stop, the greater the depth of field..
.
Bryce attempts so simulate this with it's Lens Radius setting; the larger the number, the more blurred your background will become.
The picture on the left is an unretouched render done with Premium Antialiasing and depth of field (and soft shadows!) - link to the full-sized image is above.
The settings were:
Lens Radius 0.07
Focal Length 56.50
The one on the right has a lens radius of 1.0, just to show the effect (couldn't wait for it anti-alias, though!)
Hope this helps; I used to be a photographer and darkroom technician.

Thread: Looking for a good Bryce Tutorial Book | Forum: Bryce
Put all the books on a bonfire (which you can ignite with the useless manuals from as many versions of Bryce as you can get hold of (I've got 3; each successively less useful/informative than the previous version), and use the forums here and at 3D Commune instead for (FREE!) advice and guidance, both general and specific, from people all over the world who will fall over themselves to offer advice and who are not out to make a quick buck/pound. Look at the pictures you admire most and work out how you can re-create them. Also resign yourself to the fact that ALL your spare time will be spent with Bryce - you will become your own best tutor/worst critic; that's the beauty/curse of Bryce.
Bryce was born with the Internet, and there is an absolute wealth of infomation/communities/forums out there which offer a rock-solid alternative to parting with your hard-earned cash.

Thread: ooooh! shiny new renderosity site | Forum: Bryce
Coincidentally, I chose the moment they relaunched the site to resign from posting any more 3D work by posting my last-ever 3D piece......the two events weren't related!
I think the site looks absolutely fantastic; a superb job by whoever was responsible.

Thread: Bryce image at cgtalk gallery | Forum: Bryce
I've made this point before - the sniping, almost unbelievably petty comments over there seem never to be made by the truly inspirational artists (who are also the ones who take the trouble to actually provide valuable critiques and advice) who post there.....! It's weird, the difference between 'there' and 'here'.....here, most people who have a say also post their own work and accept the works at face value, regardless of the methods of production.
Maybe, in a future dictionary, if they want a defintion of the word "snobbery" they could link to some of the comments over there.

I've posted some work there...it really is like entering an arena of ghouls waiting to draw their swords and cut you up. I had one guy accuse me of not "respecting" 3D modellers just by using Poser to produce figures. I've stopped posting there now; by voting with my virtual feet, I refuse to bow to narrow-minded tech bigots. Funnily enough, the guy actually hasn't posted any of his own work......My

Thread: Bryce 6.1,Daz studio and Poser 7 | Forum: Bryce
I had EXACTLY the same problem; reported it to Daz and efrontier, with no luck.
The solution is to delete ALL the lights from the Poser 7 scene before you save it. It then imports with no problems. I don't know why the lights in Poser 7 scenes should cause Daz Studio to crash, but they do!

Thread: Poser bias? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Wow! What a can of worms.
I stopped posting at CG Network, due to the amount of patronising dick-headed comments that the use of Poser generated. Some guy even claimed that I was somehow "disrespecting" people who produce their own models by using it and daring to post it there. It's an age-old (well, as old as Poser) argument. I've got a degree in Fine Art and have never met a painter yet who ground their own paints (never mind mining the pigments form the ground) or made their own brushes - you use the tools to hand. I used to be a real-world modelmaker and special effects technician here in the UK and know for a fact that professionals use every trick and tool avaialble to them to speed up production. To my mind, the amount of effort expended to produce a piece bears no relationship to how "worthy" it is - it's about the end product, and how you produce it is up to you.
You never see any of the best artists on these sites stooping to mud-slinging about applications - I looked up the people who made the most denigrating comments about Poser on my posts - not one had ever posted a single piece of work, which to me speaks volumes. Archair critics and navel-gazers; like someone said, leave them to their toys.

Thread: Ten Years (you missed the starting gun.....) | Forum: Bryce
I'm pretty sure that the 'The Bryce Forum Select Gallery'' was part of Bruce McLeod's "Watchful Eye" gallery.....one of my own personal main routes into "public-access/online" (?) galleries......Bruce closed it down a few years ago, but still posts his own work here; mostly (I think) in the Mojoworld gallery. If the evolution of sites like Renderosity/3D Commune and (yes, even the sniffy) CG Network were plotted out like a tree, Bruce's site would be down near the roots....along with Anders Lejczak's and a few others. I wonder if anyone new to this scene within the last five or so years appreciates this; in fairness, I guess if no-one tells them, they wouldn't know......or am I just getting old, even by CG standards.......?!
