I just visited a website that is selling hundreds, if not thousands of pictures as screen savers. Tons of Bryce and Poser stuff. I cant imagine that all this came from one artist, especially an artist who isnt even listed in these forums.

This fellow is putting his name at the bottom and selling them.

Artists here may want to go see if their artwork is included.

I don't know... I see a lot of repetition... same scene at different angles, same scene with different materials. I see a LOT of simple spheres with Bryce skies, etc. In the "Surreal" category, I did see some Poser products I recognized like a japanese gate and a temple, but no artwork that looked familiar, except a trio of flaming jack-o-lanterns. Since I don't remember the original artist, I can't cry foul on that one just yet either. Doesn't hurt to check it out though.

I looked through a few. Nothing I recognize there. But thanks for the heads up.

My son recommended the Bonnell site when I first got Bryce over a year ago. He said it was for inspiration, and indeed it did just that. :)

Mike use Bryce and Vue 'alot', when I first saw the site I emailed him to ask what he used, and Bryce was at the top of the list.

What I don't get is, why would anyone pay for a membership there? If you want wallpapers, you can get them free everywhere.

That's true, doug, but would they look exactly the same as Mike's?


dougocd ( ) posted Mon, 31 January 2005 at 7:45 PM

No...I guess if you like that style, go for it. Lots of better artists out there, like Ryan Bliss.

I like alot of peoples stuff including my own Brycing. :)
