Why if I can do it first time with this one I can't with anything else.

Make a report bug about it at Daz.

I wonder how long before the out takes  are on YouTube?

Quote - Another variant from David's packs.

I've been having a go at making my own courtesy of David's tutorials and I'm now looking at his cloudscapes, taking them apart and looking at how he sets them up.

Just wish my puter was a better one..

I've downloaded them all onto my PC..

Quote - Nice work AS and Incognitas that is also a great scene with the clouds.  What is your render time on that?  Now you need to get into the instancing lab and put something on those rocks.  Maybe a few thousand orcs ready to do battle?

Aghhh,not the instancing lab..What ever I'm doing in there is overwhelming B7 and it crashes..

The last time it worked I did get some nice fruit trees though..

Hmm I've just remembered I actually made a metaball lemon and never got around to using it. I wonder if metaballs work in the instancing lab? Probably not, they seem to cause problems full stop in B7.

Quote - How did you get so much fine details on the terrain if you don't mind me inquiring?

The terrain is one of Zhann's rock photos on sale here that I tiled through  Seemless application  and then loaded into the pictures/textures source editor in the alpha channel and then cranked up using the edit textures tools using the top icon.Then a bit of applied  bump until I was satisfied.

Doesn't always work but it can make for less render heavy textures..

Quote - Ok three times is a charm I managed to import most of the stuff but it crashed again, it is ok, I got most of them.

It's a bug.The work around is to close the preset library every time after you import an item or a material..Irritating but B7 won't crash and you won't lose your recent additions to the library either.

Quote - Ok I bought Bryce Pro but I wanted to read a bit more before installing it. I was at the DAZ forums and it seems the bugs are too much for a lot of people, I am dying to try it but the crashes are very well documented. So I think I may install it  once the first patch comes along that seems is going to be soon. If I decide to installing, can I keep Bryce 5 on my computer or is it going to make Bryce more unstable? Also on my download I got a BryceContent-7.0.0.13-windows-installer and a BryceProContent_7.0.0.13_Win  what is the diffreence?

I know lots of experienced Brycers have work around the bugs so if the patch takes too long I will give it a try.

It's ok and I've finally worked out how to get the DS bridge to work..Some of the older purchased products such as skies and textures are a bit off in this version but the new textures more than make up for it..

I have 5,5.5,(I lost 6.1 somehow and can't restore it)and I have 6.3 as well as this pro version and I cannot say that it makes anything unstable(but then I do have 3 hard drives).

I have however moved this version off my C drive because I was losing too much space to Daz products and it works just fine..I guess you should be able to run both versions.

You need to run both of those because if you don't you won't have Bryce 7 Pro and you will miss out on some luverly new objects and textures if you don't install the content..

Quote - > *Quote - Tom, You can create an infinite plane, or an infinite slab. For the volumetrics, you need slabs. To create a slab, simply hold the mouse button for a second over the water or ground or cloud primitive on the create shelf. you will see options for surface or volume. Hope this helps.

Thank you...  I did try that but the slab was not behaving like in the tutorial..  Also he must have been working with some volumetric cloud file...  I can not find such a cloud in the contents...

Try looking in the Pro Materials..(provided  from David Brinnen).There are some volumetrics there.

In fact the whole of the material provided right there in that section are terrific..

At 57 I have a lot of catching up to do..

Still my first  real attempt at making clouds in Bryce.It's nothing special but I did it.

I'm just learning and playing with clouds.
