There you have it... :-)

Vir sapit qui pauca loquitur.

that old?? hm,, so..in 2014..we celebrate 20 yrs of bryce? wowee..
that's just 4 yrs away. not far away..
ok.. everyone.. your bryce masterpieces of a life time for 2014. you've got 4 years to render one!

(btw..i did get my maths right, i hope..)

I asked because Poser is apparently 15 years old this year..I wondered why more wasn't made of the longevity of Bryce?

That’s because Bryce has become the proverbial red haired step child. Over the years it has been abandoned and pushed on from foster parent to foster parent. Perhaps now that it has been inherited by DAZ it can attain its rightful place with many future anniversaries.

Nice analogy Quest.

Older than you might believe! 

Here is an according screenshot as proof. There even was a special patch for correct amber monitor display. (**)

(**) HINT: That screenshot is pure fiction! My fake which I made with an ascii/bmp-editor nearly a decade ago and that presumed patch really never existed.  :)

WOW, fantastic ASCII work!

I miss the green screen. These days I only get blue screens.

I know I haven´t visited here for a long time. But this subject needs my attention. As all of us older addicts know, Bryce is ancient. It´s been a constant follower of the human mind since we first developed eyes for depht-seeing. I just haven´t materialised before this resent times. I f you want proof just ask the cardinal brycer himself. All heretics begone!

Good spelling is overaytead

Just had to tell you I got a seriously large chuckle from that...

Hi Fran,

good news: I expect that Bryce render to finally finish within the next two decades... if there will be no power blackout! Then I will churn out such stylish images and swamp the Gallery here with up to three uploads per century! Hah!

PS: I then made a similar screenshot of an imaginary antediluvian Poser version. But I cannot post it here due to it showing "extreme nudity". At least considered "extreme", if compared to modern Poser versions and well shaped NVIATWAS. ;)

Cheers to Spheres!

Great screenshot! I didn't even know Bryce was that old. Wow,..It would be great on Bryce 20th to see a range of images spanning it's lifetime.

 So that old, unfortunately we will all be dead by December 21st 2012 according to the Mayans so Bryce will never turn 20 right!..............Does that means that I do not have to pay my bills?

David.....................hehe..............;-)

wow...that screen shot puts it in Imagine3D's ball park, but it was on an Amiga and we had colour already back then...4096 of them to be sure with HAM mode on...the render time listed must have been fast in those days...I recall 2 day renders on the Amiga as well...it even resembles the Amiga display with less colour.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound

@Bobby. I don't call myself Cyba_Storm for nothing. The 68060 Cyberstorm accelerator card was once at the top of my computer wish list. 60Mhz Processor and 32 meg of memory. Insane Power.

My budget ran to a 030 with 4 megs. The 2 day renders were a common thing at my place.

Had a Derringer 030 board myself....bought a CyberVision card we could never get working which finally was what drove me screaming to the pc desktop workstation I still upgrade often.. ...

I went to the pc after seeing Imagine 4 running on a 486 DX33. It was rendering in a couple of minutes frames that were taking a quarter of an hour on my a1200. The Pentium 90 a friend bought for some astronomical amount of cash would render the same thing in seconds.

 

 

That's what I got...aP90 with a Diamond video card an I remeber the speed increase...I had no time to do anything else it was so fast at the time...Imagine just blazed thru an animation [my first paid cg work] and then Bryce 2, tho frusterating from the meta creations interaction part, brought me in my first graphics bucks when I did a set of original design  acquire cards to replace the wore out ones for dome dedicated players...mine are still in use all these years later.
