Hey thanks kiwi__gg....   Yeah I am still around....  still Brycing when I have time....  I love Bryce and will always have a current version.... I just don't get to the forum here as much as I used to....  I don't post much but do look in and see what is happening when I can. 

Lately I have been working on anaglyphs, working with creating volumetric clouds, as well as working with true ambience....   Bryce 7 Pro is good for these things. 

:)

Object Specific Antialiasing

To switch Antialiasing off , hold down Shift + Control as you click the check mark to close the attributes box.

To switch it on again hold down Shift only while closing the Attributes box.

---

Here is another one that I had forgotten about that is very handy.....

Exact Sun and Moon placement

To switch to the sun/moon placement mode, select the Sky & Fog Palette, hold down ctrl+alt nd double-click the sky sphere.  If you don't have the sun in your view, then nothing seems to happen.....  but hold on...  Hold down ctrl+ald and click into your scene view to place the sun at the cursor position, or use ctrl+alt+shift to place the moon....  they will appear as an asterisk in your wireframe view.

 

Edit to say... that object specific antialiasing works only with regular (normal) AA quality renders..... does not work with super or premium rendering.

There is a good video tutorial called  

Streaming light or "God rays" effect - a 25 minute tutorial by David Brinnen  

You can find it at the attached link at the top of this post....

Hope it is helpful for you....

Hey Rayraz.....  you can find what you are looking for in this thread at DAZ.....  Watch the volumetric clouds video....  They are all good really.....

 Hope everyone is enjoying Bryce 7/ Bryce 7 Pro   :)

Quote - I haven't heard anything from Daz re:C6... 5 has been out for about a year?  (is that right?)  and Since daz bought it after that time, I'm not sure when 6 will be released.

 

Well...  actually Carrara 5 was only released in May.... 7 months ago.  So I would guess it will be a little while before Carrara 6 would be released. 

Quote -
I think for the most part, Bryce is there baby, and if C6 comes out it will probably be a minor, maybe 5.4 or something to make C more compatible with Bryce. 

 

This would be a good thing for Bryce users, Bryce and Carrara users as well as for DAZ as a company.

Quote - What is actually pretty interesting is wondering in what directions they mean to take it. -- lots of concentration on things that have to do with render improvements and integration with Poser..... Is this a useful indicator? Does it mean even more integration with Poser, or merely a smoother integration? Being as this is DAZ now, will it import DAZ Studio content as smoothly as it currently does Poser content?  I have some faint hope that they might put more tools into Carrara for the reverse operation; for getting Carrara-built content exported into Poser (or DAZ Studio). These could be very exciting tools to have for a content creator. A modeling engine with built-in cr2-builder would be the only one of its kind out there....even if the market for such a thing might not be that large. 

 

It seems there are lots of possibilities....  We will just have to wait and see what happens. 8)

Very nice Stoner!!!!

I applaud DAZ for all their efforts in re-writing the code so that they can move Bryce ahead.  A decade worth of jumbled code had to be a nightmare to sort out.  But they sound like they want to let us help them to develope it further and bring Bryce up to speed now that they have the code sorted out. 
I am looking forward to better things in the future now.  Rock On DAZ!

:b_stunned:

You are more than welcome buddy....  

I think that the Robinwood tuts are excellent for those just getting started with Bryce 5.x or for those trying to get a base understanding of how Bryce 5.x  works. Hope that those tuts benefit you greatly.  You always have the people here in the forum to ask questions of as well.  The peeps here are always more than willing to help out. 

Cheers, 8)
