A BIG thankyou for both the images and the link to view more of these stunning images. they are 'Artiste'

Ah Phil, your a gent, this is a wonderful gift and I'm now thinking of plenty of scenes with it in. Thankyou my friend.

Keith, I'm happy that I've helped someone :) Its got me out of a few jams too!.

I love the bouncing egg yolk for its stomach, excellently made.

Hi Gary, Now i understand, sorry my brain isnt what it used to be ;).......I must admit I've had this little programme for a long time and it 'maybe' a restarter. Regarding the error window of Bryce when it has no memory left to render and the 'Crash' window, I have used the 'Ctrl+ a' to select all and then 'Ctrl+ s' to save and managed to get Bryce to save before I needed to reboot to get it to work again properly, but, GoodMem has stopped the 'Memory error' window from opening. Regarding the Memory leak, I thought it was just me and my models that made it leak so much. My present image is 5613816 polys and i need to use GoodMem every 15 mins or so.

Chris, I'm sorry I didnt explain it a bit clearer. You can un-install the programme when you dont want to use it anymore, but by having it ready for use at any time is a huge benefit. Just go to your 'Control panel' then choose the 'Install/Uninstall' if you find its hopeless for your needs. Its my biggest helper when using the likes of Bryce, Poser and sometimes Photoshop when using some powerful plugins. I dont think you would use it for anything else. Once installed you can put it in your quick start menu and once clicked the icon numbers will appear in your systems tray. Just right click to 'Auto free' or 'Free Once'to enter an amount. (You will see your memory grow). Right click again to view the 'Exit' and off it goes. I do hope this is a little clearer. Marc

Gary, could you just explain which needs a restart after an install, Bryce or Goodmem? GoodMem can be running in the background or clicked when needed. When I'm making the images in Bryce, GoodMem is off, it is only when the Bryce screen is full of objects/lights/terrains that I notice Bryce slowing, then I click GoodMem and it shows me that bryce has sucked my memory almost dry........a few seconds of GoodMem recharges the memory to its maximum (less the memory of background programmes). You dont need to re-install anything, when your maximum is reached, just click it off until needed again and Bryce and your computer will behave a lot better. Marc

I love this awesome model. Its above awesome come to think of it! how can you get better than this, beats me!!

If you used the GoodMem when you think things are slowing up, I bet you your Memory is around 100MB or less!......Would like to here about it.

Can these models be saved and imported into Bryce?????

I have had the dreaded 'Out of Memory' window a few times and the way i got around it is to use a memory booster. I have 'GoodMem' and often watch the memory drain down to 8MB before when i have over 1.1152GB. As soon as i start it to recoop the memory it gets it back to around 995MB and thats when i retry the render and it does work.
Its from MSI (MSI.com) and came with my computer's motherboard. Its a 200KB file but i could 'lend' it to you if you think it might help?
E-mail me at marcfx@ntlworld.com. Or go to this site and its the second from bottom, GoodMem. Download from there :)
