I have 5.0 LE and 6.0. I won't be upgrading for a long, long time (no money!), but from what I've heard and read on 7.0 so far, I'm not jealous yet and can wait forever if I must; I'm quite happy painting with what I have and am too used to my current keyboard shortcuts anyway. So it's all good. :)

You mean a 3D modelled house, right? For a minute there, I thought you meant your real house. OMG, the mortgage! ;)

While I like and agree with Ken's open-minded approach to the Bryce gallery hosting any image made in part or in whole with Bryce, I completely feel for CT and understand the frustration of seeing many images there that prominently display models made in other programs. When I first started using Bryce a few months ago, I wanted to see images that showed what I could do with the software and not what I couldn't do with it; it seemed the best way to learn the features of the program.

I've only recently started to make my own models in Amapi, and I also happen to do a lot of postwork -- so I've lately been putting my Bryce images in the Mixed Medium gallery. Deep down, however, I still consider them Bryce images because they were composed, lit, textured, and rendered in Bryce.

I think it's a personal choice for artists and gallery moderators -- creating images with one or with many tools, and then placing them in one or in many of the available galleries here at Renderosity. Those viewing the images can simply enjoy and/or learn.

My best advice to CT about any image in question at the Bryce gallery is simply to ask the artist. "Was that done entirely in Bryce?" "What other programs did you use?" "Where did you get those models?" "How did you make that model?" Some people will have already written about all that information in their comments, and other people (for any number of reasons, good or bad) won't bother. Whatever the case, the best way to approach it is one image and one artist at a time, with curiousity, wonder, and open eyes. Like Ken said, it's not about the tools you use, but how you use them.

Happy rendering. :)
