If you have a tanned skin for v4... why not open the texture map (usually found in Studio>runtime>textures>...) in an image editor and adjust the colour levels or brightness until you're happy with the colour? Then go back into Studio, apply the tanned map, and use the surface select tool to substitute in your edited version. Or, If you're feeling really cocky you can start editing the texture map names in the .pz2 files (Studio>runtime>libraries>pose>...) to call up your own maps.

Collaborative challenges would be a great way to build more of a 'community spirit'. It also seems like a good way for less experienced Brycers to learn some tricks, and the results could be especially interesting when artists of different styles get together.

Hrm. Is this what happens when moderators go away for a little while? dhama - I've enjoyed this thread. Its nice to find out a little bit of whats behind the names. Nice idea.

Thanks BecSchm, Paul. I changed the file name of the texture and it now works fine. That said, I've used longer names for texture files in the past with no problems. What a quirky little thing Bryce can be.

IMO, Essential Freestuff: Wings3D, CB Model Pro, The GIMP, Ivy Generator, UV Mapper Classic and the GeoControl Demo (while it lasts)

Name: Alex Age: 22 Area: Manchester, UK How long have you used Bryce?: 5 years What kind of art do you create usually?: I wouldn't really say its art. Would you ever move over to Vue?: Never. What is your most favourite Bryce art that you have done and why? Maybe 'F-Zero Grand Prix', since its a bit of a departure from my usual style.

"Video is more time consuming than just single frames..." Yeah - My machine gave up at ~90% of my latest animation attempt. I've posted what I was left with here: http://www.sharecg.com/v/11763/animation/GP-Start

Do you have CB Model Pro? Its really good for making curved parts.

I used full frame avi for my Uni work, and went for the 'making lots of short clips' approach so as to avoid huge re-renderings if mistakes happened (which they did, frequently). I then used windows movie maker to stitch them all together and to add sound and credits.

Er... I think I just tucked them in and forgot about them.

There must be some incredible linking behind that. Well done!

I realised the other day that I'd never tied the laces of my last pair of shoes - Not once in over a year of wear - so this'll come in handy for my new shoes!!
