Thanks AgentSmith

Sounds like a good texture but it would be worthless without a modeller like you to use it with. I have tried making organic life forms but the only ones I have ever been 100% pleased with are my insects they have a lot of different elements to them. Thanks for the link I will have a look at that it could be useful for making them as well.

Hi Agent Smith

it was the marbled Star Fish I meant it looks wet and slimy so I thought at first it was an alien as they can be quite similar.

A Credit Card Sized Computer thats really good for Programming as there isn't really anything you can mess up on it. its a really good tool you can use it to go on the net and to do programming here is a link to their website Link

I might be going for the Banana Pi instead as its a little more powerful but its basically the same thing and it is only £30 quite good for a small computer you would need an HDMI Cable though and a monitor and a SD Card.

**Hi AgentSmith **

My Best Friend from work named his dog after Agent Smith Do you make matrix images in bryce as well. I think I have seen your work it is very good I don't know how you made ths slime on one of you meta ball aliens. I really like your work its good to meet you officially.

Quote - Ensure, is the word, not insure.

I, like many here, started on bryce and have fond memories. However, things have moved on and bryce hasn't. Pleanty of other options for rendering, as Bobby sais, Terragen for external and octane forinternal scenes.

Things move on.

Yeah but personally I think Terragen sucks Bryce is easier to use in my opinion and you can do more with it. Plus What is the first name in Landscapew Bryce is just because people think Bryce hasn't moved on doesn't mean it isn't going to so technically in my opinion it is worth continuing with I personally don't ike other programs because I think they are harder to learn and don't always have great results but that is just my opinion.

If I can do this Bryster Could you also be one of the Beta Testers?

Hi Pumeco

Yeah its going to be a tall order it will take a lot of time to complete but hopefully I can do it when I first Started using Bryce there was only one bryce artist I knew his name Was Bambam131 and he was a great inspiration to me and he shared the same phobia I do the eventual demise of Bryce and at the moment it looks grim but I think with the teachings of some friends I know I am sure I can bring out a new version of Bryce in a few years to come it will be a much bigger program as I want to convince Daz Bryce doesn't have to die it can be used for Landscapes and other modellers too if there is another program from withing. I will be sure to post the progress once I am happy with it.

Hi Manely Steve

Thank you for the info I knew someone once who used to work with Artmatic Voyager and it is a very impressive program I didn't know that one of its creators also created Bryce.

Many Thanks

Karl

Hi pumeco

of Course I will I hope I can make a new version of bryce as quick as possible. Do you reckon you could be one of the Beta testers when it comes out. I am going to tell daz I am going to try and make a new bryce and let them say if its ok and if they do I am going to do and hopefully they will like it I will let you know once it is ready.

Cheers

Karl

Theres no way they could do that 10 TB to just install it you would need a Pedabyte hard drive in you computer (and they don't exist to the public at the moment.) Bryce 8 Studio Pro sounds good shame its only fiction. However I have a plan that hopefully will rise Bryce from the ashes like a phoenix reborn I am going to learn how to make 3d programs and it may take me years I may die before I even near completion(Daz may not agree another possibility.) but I would rather try to do something other than wait for Death. If Charles Babbage could make a Steam Powered Computer before Queen Victoria was on the throne then I am sure with enough hard work and some persuading daz I am gonna try for this maybe the program can have an extra life. However If I could convince them and it did work I wouldn't name it Bryce 8 I would name it Bryce Reborn. and the differences would be these.

1. You don't have to compress or have all you objects postive or negative to make .obj and other files they would simply need to be grouped.

2. I would make it so it could cope with more difficult scenes and I would also ensure you could import jpg images and make them the background.

3. I would try and make it less buggy no one crashing if you import images on mac.

4. I would try to make it have appeal for other modellers as well so it would have all the stuff were used to but with some other elements to keep others interested.

Lets Hope I don't die trying I will be using a Raspberry pi to do it and I will need to learn Java and opengl. I can't make promises but what I will try to do is do my best.

Karl

I think it would be a big mistake to get rid of Bryce because other apps like Blender are so blooming difficult you need a degree in mathmatics just to use it Bryce is fairly easy and to be honest I don't like Daz Studio because all it is is naked models already made and it only does people(I know it does animals also.) Hexagon looks good but it seems very hard to use.

Karl

Quote - I think the death bell has already tolled.  Why would a new user want Bryce?

 

Why wouldn't they its easy to learn you limit is only your imagination and its a joy to work with and trust no other model programs in my opinion are worth bothering with because I personally think Bryce is perfect. I know what you mean though some people lose interest to quickly with it but its good that people like yourself have used it well and still try to keep Bryce alive. Don't give up though something will find a way "even if I have to learn Computer Programming and get Bryce off daz I will do whatever I can and I don't want to believe it will ever be over I have learnt to much to lose it now.

Regards

Karl

Thank you all for your answers

True all things you have put are correct  There is one thing they could do though maybe say I Could Donate some of my work so they get the money they need to ensure this program has a future.(I can't aways promise obj and 3ds files for complex designs unless they come in parts) But I would be willing to give as much of my work as I can to ensure the survival of Bryce.

Cheers

Karl

Ps Weapons are easily do able and you could get .obj files they could use for Daz Studio and other programs

Hi Clay

Sorry to hear of your loss I know how that feels. But whoever your mentor was he or she would have been proud of the work you can produce and would be touched that you dedicated this to them.

Take Care of Yourself and keep on Brycing.

Karl

Thanks Bryster

I think the best way to make thingsin bryce is to go your own way try try and try again don't get me wrong there are great tutorials out there made by Bryce genius's but to me anyway they should only be guidelines as such not how you base all your work be original look at pictures of things on the internet and then work out how to make for example shapes can make anything with spheres and cylinders and cubes you can make a lot of different things Spiders, Space ships if you put your mind to all the only limit is the imagination. I am always hot Rosie I have a Thryroid problem so even in skomer in wales freezing cold place I am piping hot. Try thinking your on Sedna its -261 C on there the coldest place in the Solar System. PS None of what I said was meant to insult people who have tried very hard to make incredible tutorials and kindly put them up so people can learn. it is just my personal opinion

Regards

Karl
