OK, here's a thought (continued from the thread below): We were talking about Bryce 5 books, and it got me thinking about what any of us might want from them, what questions we'd like answered, or tutorials we'd like to see, and how, with all of the talented Brycers we have around here, that someone here could probably answer those questions and create those tutorials. So I decided to start this thread for the purpose of asking two questions: 1. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW? - Not things you can look up in the manual, like "How do I import presets?" or "How do I apply a photo texture?". My own personal wishlist includes an in-depth tutorial on the Tree Lab, specifically how to make, say, a White Oak that looks like a White Oak. I've seen a few things here and there on the web, but they weren't always exactly accurate. The Tree Lab is very poorly documented, as are the metaballs. And specific tutorials, too. There are already ones on things like making a waterfall, a tornado, an exploding building, etc. Can anyone think of one that hasn't been done that they'd really like to see? 2. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO PROVIDE THIS INFO? - If we can get some intelligent, interesting questions here, perhaps some of you Bryce pros will help us answer them? Not that you don't already, it's just that I'm looking past the usual "I'm working on a project and I'm stuck" thing to something broader. And while there are many great tutorials around, I'm sure we can think of some we'd all like to see that haven't been done yet. Whether it be more tips in the tutorial section, or something grander and more organized if Sham Mortem is the best they have to offer in a Bryce 5 book, I think we can do better amongst ourselves. Shall we write our own "book", in whatever form it takes?
