silverfairy - ah! - that is exactly what I wanted to hear!! - thanks - I'll give that a go shortly! ;) UVDan - yes, grouper is/was great, but sadly, PC only, and I am Mac based! :) Thanks for your input guys! :) Adam

Cheers guys! - as I feared basically! ;) Adam

Hi Brian, Yes, but as I said, I need to use Poser initially! So can I export or save as a standard Poser file type and simply open it in Daz, then using Daz to bridge the gap to Bryce? Cheers Adam

lol! - great to see that X-Wing AS! - nice! ;)

Fantastic designs and models once again moe!! - the Dystopia range is becoming quite epic! ;) How about some wire frame renders!? As for additional items to consider... apart from vehicles... simple stuff like; railings, traffic lights, food van/booth/bar (like Bladerunner) bus shelters, waste bins, computer terminals etc !? Adam

Thanks shinyary2! - Atom films hosts the annual fan film awards, but it's only for parodies/comic entries - not serious Stwar Wars stories unfortunately, plus as you say, it would be too long anyway. I think the Producer is putting it in for some other competition soon though! :)

Glad you guys liked it! ;) It is very unlikely that we will do a Revelations II - the first took 3 years and a HUGE amount of effort with only the experience, and accolade/hype etc for reward (which is undoubtedly great! - but soon dies down, and doesn't help pay the bills unfortunately!:) ) Besides, the story leads into ANH, there isn't much room or need for more at that juncture in SW history. I stand by it as a fantastic experience from beginning to end, from which I made a load of new contacts and friends, and gathered a whole heap of new knowledge and inspiration for future endeavours!, and the final item isn't bad at all, despite weaknesses in some departments :)

Yes - Slashdot, and the front page of Yahoo.com! - the panickstruck server (the production company site) took some 134 million hits in a very short space of time, and folded! A new server is coming on tonight in preparation for the actual movie, which is still a month away from release! - it's amazing how much attention this is getting prior to release - god knows what it will be like next month!!! ;D

I agree, I have often noticed I have done weaker compositions with Cinema than with Bryce! - must work on that!

Rayraz, I hear you on your points, but equally, I have and still do on occasion use Bryce for paying jobs! - I'll have to post a couple of recent ones in my gallery. Undoubtedly, eventually you need to get a real polygon modeller of some sort, and there is no denying that rendering time in Bryce is very painful compared to something like C4D, but like Incarnadine, I must confess I feel a certain longing to be back in more 'innocent' times with Bryce - I was at my most creative and explorative with that app I think! - once you get into some hardcore poly modeling, you can almost forget what it's like to construct a scene in Bryce in the same amount of time. Brycers - I still love ya! ;)

Impressive! :)

lol! - yeah, respect to Bryce! - still a great app :) drawbridge - I am looking forward to both equally actually, but I have seen most of Revs, so .. :)

Oh wierd! - Well I would imagine that the movie will be available in several formats (QT and WM) and sizes, and I'll probably host a couple myself.

Thanks! - you'll be blown away by the final 45 minute movie me thinks! ;)

Hey folks! Yes Bryce was used in the film. Ian (MrDoddobird) used it for a couple of final shots, the TIE launch bay above being one of them - really nice stuff!. I also used Bryce early on in the production for concept models and renders, but all the final modeling and rendering (in my case) was done using Cinema. Getting close now - only about 50 days to the premiere and then the movie will be on the web! :) Brian - more than one format? - how do you mean?

bamber1000 - you were discussing a warezed copy of Poser 5, and trying to find a way around buying it - your first post states that clearly. You have been reminded about the TOS here, and been warned that such behaviour will not be tolerated. If you wish to take this up with the site admin, please contact them. Carroly doesn't have to explain who she is to you, but for the record, she has been part of the Poser forum staff and knows the score here far better than you. As suggested above - if you truly believe you have a legitimate copy, go talk to Curious Labs about how to enable it for you. Are you going to lock this down karen or shall I? kromekat Renderosity Moderator (EDIT) - I see you did it ;)
