I don't think any of the programmers work on the weekend now.

Thread: Setting in Bryce to use all the cores in the CPU | Forum: Bryce
From Horo, Bryce programmer and user extraordinaire: "Bryce handles up to 8 processors, virtual or real ones. When in the development stage of 7.0/7.1, we had 16 supported cores for a moment. Each thread needs memory and Bryce, still being a 32 bit application with a 2 GB limit (which can be pushed up to about 3.2 GB by making it Large Address Aware), it was a question of how advanced computers the majority has. The compromise finally was 8 cores.
There is a priority setting in the render options. Low Priority uses just 1 core, Normal Priority half and High Priority all - where all is 8.
Network rendering also uses only 8 cores at max, provided the host is set to High Priority, all clients use all cores up to 8 as well. You can network render on one machine, but the overhead makes it slower than a direct render. I have on my Win 7 a virtual XP and 2000 installed and I can use three machine in one for network rendering. However, the virtual XP and 2000 only get one core, no more. So this scheme isn't of any help.
Not all is lost, though. Provided your machine has the memory, you can open several instances of Bryce and render at High Priority on each instance. In your case, you could render 3 scenes at high priority and get all 24 cores busy. If you render animations, you can cut it in 3 and render each part in another instance of Bryce at full throttle. Then assemble the 3 parts with a movie application.
A virtual core - a multithreaded virtual one - is not as powerful as a real core. It can take over between 10% and 20% of the work, while the real core takes 100% or nearly so. My best machine sports a i7, 4 core multithreaded and I've tested this. The next worse machine sports an i3, 4 core, not multi-threadable. It performs at over 60% of the i7, not just 50% or less (an i3 is less powerful than an i7)."

I must have misunderstood something. Isn't this the Freestuff Forum?

Thread: To Bryce and Hexagon Users | Forum: Bryce
The last Bryce update was 7.1.
Horo and David Brinnen are still releasing products for Bryce at DAZ3D..
My copy still works. Most people (including me) have moved on. I would like to see further developments, but it seems less likely every day. Bryce isn't dead as long as there are users.

Thread: Another WIP | Forum: Bryce
Oooo... Nice, Clay!
Angel Estevez has been posting some cool Bryce work lately.
I've been putzing around a bit in Bryce myself, but nothing worth sharing.
P.S. Sorry about your mentor.

Somehow I missed this thread (waves).My Dark Side is Daz Studio (wow, same initials...spooky).
The only Brycing I've done in a while has been a remake of an oldie using some of the nice new image-based lighting features. I keep meaning to play around with instancing, etc.
Horo and Brinnen are still making Bryce tuts so there is still a base of users out there.
I have used Bryce a few times for object creation and exportation as .obj. The ability to turn booleans into meshes was a great addition. Wish we'd had that back in the day.
Later.

Thread: Some SOW fun. | Forum: Bryce
Yes, unlike in Bryce, you have to render reflective surfaces to tell if they are looking like you want them to. Water is one thing that Bryce does best.
