How's this?

This was done on less than 200 megs of ram so.....It should be easy to make a dense forest floor on any machine.(more plants are being made as well, that will have the same easy to populate propertys...like ferns and such).Still not sure if its bryce 5.5 compatible yet though.

I even had success with this low poly flower model which had 900 polycount, does yours have less then that ? :)

I menaged to scatter 800 of them and 50000 blades of grass, then on the top high-poly tree, a high-poly car and couple of high resolution terrains and some buildings, could go more, but i did not !!! :P

Here is a render (from my gallery) if anybody remembers:

It's a massive 68 polys!!! lol....unless you smooth it, I think it may reach 100 or so then.

Kemal posted Sat, 14 May 2005 at 3:06 AM

That is very low, I reckon with more powerful PC you could go with 10000 of them easily ! :D Nice work on it !!! :D


Mahray posted Sat, 14 May 2005 at 3:08 AM

1000 plants with not too many problems. I had to switch the preview render to wireframe, but apart from that it runs beautifully.

Edit - Works fine in 5.5

Nice Mahray!!! much cooler than my test renders....I used way to low of an angle I guess.Shows the possiblitys though. @Kemal-I would love to see 10,000.....I would cry, then pee myself.

looks great both of them but mahray is my fav just add a dragons head peeking through the under growth.

for some free stuff i made
and for almost daily fotos


lordstormdragon posted Sat, 14 May 2005 at 4:03 PM

Aye, it's the quantity over quality game, is it? I'll stick with quality, thank you. 42,319 blades of grass here. NO polys whatsoever. Some things Bryce can do, some things it just can't.

TwistedBolt posted Sat, 14 May 2005 at 7:00 PM

Not bad LSD, but the picture needs some sort of shadows or lighting(probably because your new in Maya,so no big deal really).I can do the same thing in C4D with shave&haircut plug-in.But some people cant afford a higher end application so figuring out how to push the limits in bryce in the end helps alot of other bryce users.Heres a WIP i'm fooling around with....maybe not the highest "quality" but its still not bad for bryce.

Works as seudo-vines on a wall, also. Actually, it's just the leaf mat preset, stuck on a Bryce tree. Weird render though, came out looking kind Vue/painterly looking. Thanks for the plant (and mat) TB! AgentSmith

Yeah, I was just messin with ya, TB... All of these plants look very nice! And of course Fur won't export as polys (that I know of), so in my Bryce scenes I'm always creating workarounds for suitable grass and foliage. My silly little house scene will probably top out closer to a hundred plants, if I'm lucky...


TwistedBolt posted Sun, 15 May 2005 at 1:05 AM

@AgentSmith- cool looking vines...and thanks for approving it in the free stuff section. @LSD- I get retarded sometimes... I already have 3 more plants with new mats ready to go as well.2 are leafy green things, and the 3rd is a small sapling(in my last post with a pic).Now, does anyone have a GOOD flat pic of a fern that I can use/mess with? So far all the suff I have come across is side shots and things.

AgentSmith posted Sun, 15 May 2005 at 2:43 AM

I have an old freestuff item that is "fern-like". Used on a tree here, but could be arranged on flats to look like a traditional fern plant, I guess. AS

lordstormdragon posted Sun, 15 May 2005 at 6:28 AM

Aye, so Twisted, are you going for the million-plant mark too? Methinks you could hit it with these 1-poly ferns from Kemal! That actually might look kinda cool...


TwistedBolt posted Sun, 15 May 2005 at 1:04 PM

One million!?!.......If you have the ram I guess it would be possible...I would like to see that.

Rayraz posted Sun, 15 May 2005 at 5:52 PM

1 million??? I think bryce will crash during the render.

Bryce, crash at a million polys? Hardly. Many of my scenes have 10, 20, even 50 million polys. And I'm only running 512 MB of DDR on this machine.


Rayraz posted Sun, 15 May 2005 at 6:43 PM

not a million poly's, I've used over 600 million poly's so that's not it. I'm talking about a million objects, that's different.
