How anout making a sticky on Bryce 7 bugs, where people can report bugs, and evtually workarounds for them - just to have it in one place :-)

That is very sad news - he was a good brycianist and a faithfull poster. God bless

Congratulations to the winners :-) - Very good work

Quote - I DL'd MAX, but I can't seem to 'save as' anything other than a .max file.  I'll keep studying the program.  Maybe I'm missing something.

As far as i remeber you must use "export" instead of "save as"

As rayraz says - use 3DSMax or find someone who has 3DSMax - there are to my best knowledge no converters available for MAX files except 3DSMax itself

Don't forget there is a brand new version of Daz Studio and you need to install it to work with the new Bryce 7.

3.1.1.73

Hey Annie
Thank you - but thats the version i downloaded - the error was there before as well i had just forgotten - but maybe the only thing i have to do is restart after the install of studio - and then everything works agian :-) :-) :-) - who nows the ways of bryce :-)

Quote - I didnt have the patience to wait fora refund. I went ahead and bought PRO. wich made alot of mess because th innstallers have the same sice as the regular b7.

Oh wow - you just aren't lucky these days :- ( - I have just installed DAZ studio and discovered a new error. The little arrows on the side of the navigation pane stops functioning once in a while, and then they won't start to work until i have restartet the computer, the same goes for the new lighttypes, when i have one of these in the scene, sometimes i can't select it again, not with clicking upon it, nor with the selection pane in the buttom of the interface - damn...

Quote - takk arne. jeg kjøpte jo oppgradering fra 6 til7. trodde jo det var PRO

You are welcome - hope you can exchange it to the pro version
Du er velkommen - håber du kan få den byttet til Pro :-)

Regards/Hilsen

Arne

--> Dyret - I have restartet - everything works now - If you bought the ordinary bryce in error, i think there is a 30-days refund at daz3d :-)

Quote - Whats interesting about the CUDA on NVidia cards is the feature is available on the PC that I'm using to type this and was under $100.

Using the GPU of a video card + CPU is a bonus, and a great idea.

At the moment i think the only hybrid renderer there is - is Arion. However Indigo - a marvelous renderer has announced they will support both CUDA and openCL (ATI) in the near future. Ocatne renderer supports as many graphics card your motherboard can handle, i don't know if its the same for Arion. Ocaten will not become a hybrid renderer - but who cares if you can put a bunch of cheap graphics card in your computer and have a renderfram :-) :-) :-)

Quote - Since Bryce uses its own render engine, if you save the scene out and use an external renderer to render it , can the rendered scene and the scene parameters still be recognized by Bryce and brought back into Bryce for later readjusting?

Bryce has its own propritary format for it's files, so you cannot use an external renderer directly - however if you export your scene to an OBJ file - which should be possible with the u tag on boolean objects. then you can render it with an external renderer that supports the OBJ format. Another approach could be to import the OBJ file into another 3D application (3DMax, Blender, C4D or whatever - most 3D programs today supports OBJ format) - Many of these then have Exporters for different renderengines - the 3D package i know the best is C4D - and there have been made a bunch of exporters for various render engines (VRay, Indigo, Octane, Thea, Finale RenderStage, Luxrender, Fry and Arion render) - I know theres made a lot of exporters to blender as well, to freeware render engines, and i think that there is a native exporter for Luxrender wich is a freeware unbiased photorealistic renderer - phew ...that was a lot :-)

There is also a brand new kid on the block with GPU rendering: Octane - unbiased render engine, for now it only supports CUDA on NVidia cards. It is - even though its still in beta - lightning fast! - As for rendering BRYCE files - if you convert your model to OBJ format then Octane will be able to render it, as it uses this format as the only input for the moment 

Yup - its me - on a good day :-)

Furthermore - Lightwawe splits its scenefiles, that is it makes a scenefile and several objectfiles, these all have the extension lwo (as far as iremember :-)), and as far as i remeber Bryce can't handle split lwo files :-(
