Hi,there fellow brycians, I was just wondering if any of us out there have ever considered creating animated pieces with bryce. There are quite a lot of mind-blowing pictures done with our faithful software, one tends to wonder if there are equally wonderful animated works out there. People need to understand Bryce is capable of so much more than stills.

What is a CRIF?

I used a Bryce animation to demonstrate some concept design work during my third year at Uni. I remember it taking a very long time. The department still use the animation on open days, so it must've impressed someone!

what a coincidence.... I'm just about to attempt to post a Bryce machine animation.

"An Example is worth Ten Thousand Words"

I have an animation here (somewhere) of a river flowing under an arch bridge. I used animated terrains for the water and it turned out pretty nicely. I've done a few animation pieces with logos for various local bands.

I've done a couple of animated bryce scenes, long ago and am still interested in animation and hope to get back to it now that my vision has been much improved through the marvel of  modern medicine.

WB Gregsin! Glad to hear that your vision has improved!

I've made 2 animation shorts with bryce actually.. problem is they just take aaaages to render!

Experience is no substitute for blind faith.

I made an animation for a police officer friend of mine who runs a porn/sex toy shop on the side.....it was actually quite tasteful!

pretty cool rj001 :)

I have my 1st Bryce animation rendering now, 2 and 1/2 minutes, kinda surreal... Nothing "major", just a guy floating abouts and some camera sweeps, but I think itll come out pretty cool...

Eons to render for sure.......

What size do you render out at and what video codec do you use?!? How did you (or does anyone?!?) add the special effects and sound?!?

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count, and those that can't..

I used full frame avi for my Uni work, and went for the 'making lots of short clips' approach so as to avoid huge re-renderings if mistakes happened (which they did, frequently). I then used windows movie maker to stitch them all together and to add sound and credits.

I enjoyed Avalon3D's Youtube posts.. its an excellent way for people to share their videos.

Video is more time consuming than just single frames... and some scenes that look great as a single image would not look good animated just because the way the scene was built.

Here is something I'm working on in Carrara.

I'm also doing an animation of a crystal for a friend's business logo - also in Bryce.

"Video is more time consuming than just single frames..." Yeah - My machine gave up at ~90% of my latest animation attempt. I've posted what I was left with here: http://www.sharecg.com/v/11763/animation/GP-Start
