Hi, _Got Bryce 5. I am disapointed at first sight: The first pix I made came out with a really nasty rendering. _Maybe it's my fault and I have: 1) to read the new tutorial 2) to practice 3) to discover that happily it is REALLY definitely better than Bryce 4... _In the meantime, I'd liketo ask some FAQ, however, because I would have to spend my life studying millions tutorials & books BEFORE I can begin to work activly, and get any "artistic" or "would-be" artistic results doing art-works, I mean, you can't stay a reading student all your life, meanwhile you don't produce nothing. Well, maybe I'm wrong about this...and not only only because my english is bad... These are my questions, thanks to you for helping if you can: _1) Grey arrow on bottom left of Bryce 5 screen. What do I do to get the best renderings ? I don't make animations: Should I chose then in "Render Options": Rays per Pixels: from 4 to 256. _ What do I chose as the best number ? _2) _ What do they mean (in simple english) by "Clustered scenes" in opposition to "Uniform Scenes" ? _3) _ Always in "Render Options",in "Quality Mode", should I use (for Fine Art): _a) Super Fine Art AntiAliasing. _b) or Premium Effect AntiAliasing and in which specific cases ? _4) _Always in "Render Options", Optimization..Normal or "Agressive". What kind of Art-work is supposed to demand being "aggressive" or "Normal". (This is Bryce kind of Hebrew-Language for me...xx?';-0??!!!) I am gonna learn to read some hieroglyphes anyways, hi hi, I think I have to...back to worse & more complicated mysteries than in Ancient Egypt with today's new technology stuff... I tell you, worst than Hebrew to understand, sometimes... ...Could Computers speak any human language, some day ??? Thank you for all users !!! (Derision & desperate "LOL") _5) Always in "Render Options", => Optics: Always about getting the best renderings, which number for "Maximal Ray Depth" ? in which case do I have to change this number, what's the one to chose as the Default one if I have to? In the same place, which number for "Total Internal Reflexion" ? When do I have to chose it or disble it ? In which specific case ? Thanks a bunch for answering...Well, maybe just answer: " Please just F...READ the f.....g Tutorials !!!!" I will understand... _ But maybe you have more simple words and ideas than a technical book...hi hi... I'm pretty sure you do ! Thanks for your attention. Bye ! Jean-Pierre Mayet.
