Hello, new here. After playing around with Bryce for over a week, I manage to make a few scenes for my animation short. Now I just need to figure out how to bring them altogether and make a short out of it. Any tutorials or tips or tricks that I could use to make it easier? Thanks. I used my poser4 models as imports.

Hey, what's up ? :D Check this link out, did help me a lot, in original Bryce manual there is some talk about Advanced Motion Lab (which, I suspect, you do not have, if you bought it from DAZ). I would not suggest using it untill you did couple animations in regular mode, unless you have some previous animation expirience ! :D I admire your will to do it, never liked Bryce animation capabilities cuz it does not include natural forces (like gravity), good luck and have fun !!! :D Welcome to the forum :)Kemal posted Sun, 05 December 2004 at 11:36 PM

To add this to what I said in previous post, animating poser models is almost impossible without help of external software like "Susanna" (see link above) ! :)Message edited on: 12/05/2004 23:37

Not quite sure what you want to do.....have you rendered your animations already, and now you want to dice and splice? My WinXP came bundled with Windows Movie Maker, that would do editing etc.

Thanks for the tips. I'm trying to create a storyboard 3D animation short in Bryce. I'm getting hooked on it. I'm just trying to do a little cartoon short. I have some image renders on my site. I haven't laced all the scenes together just yet. I'm trying to get my characters arms and legs to move in the scene. I posed my character model on my frontpage. Haven't rendered the animation just yet. Taking me hours just to do the storyboard! How can you make an armor a leg move? I'm guessing I have to ungroup the objects to do that??? thanks will checkout the links. My site is still brand new but am in the proces of making some freebies for it. I use XP also. ;)GROINGRINDER posted Mon, 06 December 2004 at 4:50 PM
You cannot animate Poser characters in Bryce alone, you need the Susanna app. linked to by Kemal in reply no 3 above.

ok thanks. I cant afford to pay for any other software tho. Bryce was given to me by a friend of mine who upgraded to another 3D program and I don't have a top of the line laptop with all the bells and whistles or the room to add anymore programs. I've been ungrouping the objects to get them to move around in the scene, seems to work. I'll just use movie maker for the aimation part.
