I have been a member of Renderosity since Nov 2002. I don't post very much, nor have any images in my gallery, but with Bryce 5.5 being released (hopefully soon) I am wondering how other members see and use Bryce? I'm not entirely sure that some members will understand what I'm asking so I will answer the question to demonstrate where I'm going with this. I see Bryce as a tool of expression and learning. It allows the user to express creatively with images and animations what might be hard to express with written words; it allows the user to build images or small animations to help map out complex ideas that then could be written as a scene for a story or screenplay. It has vast educational applications beyond just doing 3d art. I use Bryce, mainly now, to help visualize complex scenes for my creative writing projects (none of which have been published yet) but I have used Bryce at the school I work at to help students that have bad artistic ability, or poor computer skills create plans for their woodworking shop projects. I helped a grade 7 student learn about the basics principles of animation so he could do a speech about how Yoda was created for Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. The grade 7 student learned more by creating a small animation in Bryce than he did by reading many of the websites and chapters from several of our (sadly now stolen) books on animation. I guess I'm just wondering if anybody else has used Bryce in other capacities beyond simple 3d? Cheers, Pedrith :)
