Thank you for the kind compliments :)

What do you guys think of my first Poser render since 2003 :)

I got it tagged as "..the way to a womans heart.."

Well I for one think it would be a great addition to the BondWare solution that is offered. And Re: Copyright, just to make sure that I was clear. RSS feeds only out put text, so Only the "Date" "title" "discription". Not the "actual" material. :) thanks for your time :)

lol I ment 300 :) Im doing a 72 dpi of it and its says 14 hours :), and I havent even aded anything other than my background and landscape :)

Hey thanks! :) When its all finished, Ill probley do a 12 x 9 @ 30dpi render when Im all done, Im sure that one will be a nice size, mabey a few hours?

Like the optimizing ones. I may have come across them at one point or another, but never associated them with optimization, so a BIG thanks to you with these tips. Ive attached another render of this with a few corrected things like the inverted bump map (lol I cant believe I did that) and the size of them as well. Switched around a few things with the Windows (which arent fully done yet, Im still experimenting :), and I got my flags down with a "free stuff" American flag prop for Bryce I saw here, I used just the flag portion obj and made my own texture for it. And hey! Thanks for the Gallery Comment :)

shadowdragonlord Hey man thanks for the tips and advie, Im still working on it, the Brick size is really getting to me, it eather comes out to big or too small so I got it a bit smaller than the first on I belive, but I still dont think its enough, Mabey Ill redraw the texture to a smaller brick size. Who knows. We shall see. :)

There is no reason to Upgrade to SP2, please trust me on this one, before you know it you will be reformating your HD. I have not only heard horror storys, but I have also seen them happen.

Is the boat modleed compleatly in Bryce? What texture for your wateer are you useing? Looks very good so far.

hahaha yea its very doubtfull, they will most likely make a differnt box for it and sell as is, and make promesses and crap, then do nothing to it, then sell it ....do I see DAZ buying JASC too lol j/jk :)

Jaymonjay: I know what you mean baout the "not visible forget it" thing, but I still havent decided on a POV of this pic yet, or even what will be added to it. So we shall see, once I get one Steady, then Ill most likely go about takeing out "hidden" objects. Thanks for the tips :)

draculaz: So far I havent had any trouble with the Card, but its most likely the reason for "jumpy" wireframes and what not. WHat do you sugest for a Highend, low budget Card, or ven mid way?

Gog_CA1: Thanks for the tips :)

Incarnadine: Its not a photo texture, I drew it up in photoshop. I could however try to Optimize the texture, Ill give it a try. I also think you may be right about the bump map....oops :)

karineq: Thank you so much for the compliments! Never ever give up on Bryce. Just cause you see something that goes beyon your means, all that means s that you should do a bit of reading and soak up as many tutoorials as humanly possible, even if its not for something your currently doing, its all about learning technique :) As for the POV , its still not decided, I did actually do a render from the POV that you mentions, and it came out nicely, but it left out the detailk form the top of the Castle, and Id like to get in as much of it as possible.

TheBryster: Hey man, Ive been meaning to compliment you on your work, and have definatly seen your Crystal Palace, and its nothing short of awesome. Great attention to detail and realisim, I can Imaigne the rendertimes. But what was the 12hr render dpi @ ? My render for "Reflecting on Meditation" took 24+ hrs http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=274356 but then again, as you stated your PC (or MAC cant discriminate :)) is twice the power, and this was a 300dpi render

shadowdragonlord: Im not to sure what you mean, but I think I already do it, I save my Bryce files in two different spaces, one on a Network Drive and the other on my PC drive, jsut incase something happens (power outage etc) it has happend , and I ended up with a broken file, and haveing to start all over again, which is quite sustrating, but these symptoms are when I save as a different file name. Heres the link to the main render thus far :) http://revolvingdesigns.com/darkcastle.jpg

Well at least Im not crazy then with the preformance issues :) Ive definatly done the "24hr Render Dance" before :) As for the Lighting. Its actually a Flatened circle, with a transparent texture, and there is a light source behind it....mabey lowering the light source to a bit darker?

Thanks guys Im just looking for that diamond in the rift for printing place. Il check out Zazzle.com though....anymore advice, resourses? I think it would be cool to put up like a webpage on renderosity that referes to stuff like this. Sence they cant make it profitable to do prints....mabey leaking some infor re: the subject matter. Get a bunch of idea form the members base and publish it here...hell even make it an article for the Mag.??

Where you up load your stuff, they take 90% and give you 10%? Or can you order prints singly for resonable prices?

Scott all this looks very promessing and you doing more then I have seen most do in trying to save everyones here (My first 3d rendering) fav prog. First and formost Im just thrilled that Bryce6 isnt a dream that is lost. And withall the resourses you have ie; dreams, wish lists, etc you will have more than you need to make an exceptional preadessor to B5 Excuse the speeling errors. If I could have one wish for Bryce 6 It would be to export obp files. Or even convert them to obj :)
