Hi,

A long long time ago I stumbled over this program called Bryce 5 in the IT store of York University. I bought it, it was pretty cheap with the student discount. That was in 1999. I played with it, found it difficult, worked with it, pretty much got bored of it, think I downloaded a demo of Bryce 4 and liked it more, I can't remember... Anyway, around october 2001 I joined R'osity under the nickname Draculaz (which I now think is idiotic). I was 18.

I've used Bryce largely as a render engine, not as a scenery program. I found the basic tools at my disposal too buggy and unrealistic for that. Wings3D was the program that opened up the world to me in terms of what I could acheive. And it was good.

For the past year I've wanted something more, not necessarily for my skills, but for the option of creating better things. Bryce can acheive amazing results, but with way more work than I generally ever wanted to put into it.

And as such, after buying Carrara 5 Pro, with the generous help of a friend (who will get her money soon, bless her heart), I am now willing to go forward. I've been dry for the past months, unable to create anything. Now is the time to do so. Bryce 6 might come around, I might buy it, but I think I've made the right choice in terms of what path to take.

Cheerio, I'm still going to visit this place, but I won't be as active as before. Thank you for teaching me a lot of the things I used with Bryce. I might spam my work here from time to time, but as a rule, I'll try to grow my art with Carrara.

Cheers!

Mihnea
