Hey; my name's Ben. I'm relatively new at Bryce and was wondering if any of you guys could recommend any good tutorials or starting places to help me learn the program? I would like to learn and from what I can tell this is a cool community to start with; seems there are some good people here.

Welcome Ben, the Renderosity forums and tutorials are a great place to start, feel free to ask anything. However, it is worth reading the Bryce FAQ at the top of the Rosity forum first, and often worth searching the forums for any questions you might have. Also, feel free to visit us at RenderGods, for advice or general chatting etc. irc://irc.freenode.net/RenderGods Or http://www.rendergods.com/

Come visit us at RenderGods.

Hello. Welcome. Cool pics in your gallery so far. Looking forward to countless more.

NEVER post a link with your session id or session key in it.

You look to have some 3D experience. With what might I ask?
As for learning? Poke around for a bit to get the feel of things. Then decide what you want to do. If you can't figure it out, or have no idea how to start, ask here. This is the most helpful group of people you'll find anywhere.

Welcome indeed. Probably one of the best groups of people here anywhere on the net IMO. Questions are welcome.

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

hmm..there are a few out there. Daz, of course, has snapped up some of the best, so root around there. Or hang around here and ask questions. We're not like 'that other package' where people think all questions are dumb..;) see you around...out there..;)

Hi Ben and welcome to the mad world of Bryce. My honest opinion is you have started in the best place to learn. You can read all the tutorials you want and still you'll have problems with things in Bryce. You only need ask the question once on this forum/community and it will be answered in many different ways but you'll learn from that.

In all the time i have been using Bryce i have read 4 Tutorials, i have asked more questions than i care to count and thanks to all on here i have learned more about the program than i thought i would.

If you are working on something post it on this forum and you'll find these great people will guide you in the right direction to turn it into a great image. But be ready for some heavy but friendly criticism on your wip(work in progress).

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

Open your mind and share the knowledge!

Welcome Reflexpression. Nice gallery. You have an excellent eye for composition. Great start. This is the place to learn anything you want to know. (At the bottom of the page in your gallery is the link you can use for posting directly to your gallery.) ICM

Welcome, I started Brycing after seeing Peter Sharpes work, his tuts are a good source too, but take a look at rochr's pages he's got some sort of neural connection between his brain and bryce, and Flak is another grandmaster.

Ben: Welcome to the asylum! Nice gallery and I really liked 'Moon'. You've already made a great impression here. Drac's invited you to the Rendergods. (Never invited me to Rendergods - sulk) Enjoy your stay!

Hey I've already noticed you! You've only got your first 5 pics but they all average like 80 views, nice job! Anyway, follow the various recomendations from the other Brycers, most of them are wise.


Quest posted Thu, 23 June 2005 at 8:28 PM

Very nice work Reflexepression and it seems youve been using Bryce for quite some time. Welcome to the forum and hope to see more of your work.

welcome

Hey welcome! I'm pretty new myself. The guys/girls are really helpful here. I'm sure you'll also find plenty of inspiration in the galleries. Take care and see you around the camp.

I never intended to make art.

Aye, welcome to the most potent and knowledgable Bryce forum on the planet. If you can't do it here, it can't be done with Bryce! Ask questions, post screenshots, and have fun! Good to meet you, I hope all is well in your world. (bows to you) Off to check out your gallery...!


shinyary2 posted Fri, 24 June 2005 at 11:31 AM

Good lord, but you are good for a beginner. Obviously you have experience in 3D (my first pix were shiny spheres above water, lol... course those were my first 3D pix as well as my first Bryce pix...) You might try Rochr's tutorials (they range from beginner to advanced): http://www.rochr.com/ You could also try Bill Munns' tutorials (and check out his gallery too while you're there, it's stunning!): http://www.billmunnsgallery.com/techniques.html Anyhow, those are some of the less obvious ones. There are also really great tutorials here at Renderosity. And if you have any questions that you can't find a tutorial for, of course the good folks here in the forums can answer just about any question you have. Good luck! =)

Shin, my friend... "Good lord, but you are good for a beginner. Obviously you..." I am NOT a good lord. I am quite evil, thank you! Can't have you ruining my image... Then it'll be nothing but work, work, work, to get it all back! (grins)

"I am NOT a good lord. I am quite evil, thank you! Can't have you ruining my image... Then it'll be nothing but work, work, work, to get it all back!" Quote from Princess Bride. I think your image is safe (but come on, anyone who watches Princess Bride can't be all bad...)
