A forest scene without any Bryce trees! Yeah, it's a bit silly, but it was fun to make. I've got another version with Depth of Field turned on - took me ages to decide which one to post, but I think this is the better of the two... Good luck to all!

it's kinda like a foresty version of veggie tales. =c) Great work. I love it when someone pushes the boundries of the challenge(and bryce) to see what can be done. BTW, if I'm not mistaken, I believe that the leaves on the ground are the same piles of leaves many of us are using, no?(the one from 3dplants) just something I noticed.

Are these ENTS? The Bryster

Yep, that's the same pile of leaves that everyone seems to have! In fact, I went to 3Dplants to get them after seeing them in an earlier post. I love them! And the figures are UD Plant Pixies and Treant, with rather modified textures on the pixies (can't recall what I did with the Treant - have rendered and re-rendered this so many times now I can't remember anything about it - does anyone else do that?)

yeah, I re-render many times, until I get it the way I want. although, if I change something significant, I tend to save the files incrementally(ie render1, render2, render3, etc) so if I decide I like something I did previously, better, I can easily go back to it.

Very cute.

I really like this too. Well done. I started taking notes on everything I do and making multiple version of things. Now I can go back and look at my notes and realize I left out the key bit of information that would let me recreate the same effect. ;) Lin

hmmm....notes....I never thought of doing that. I'm too lazy anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.(besides, I cant take notes, if I'm using my computer at the time. no such thing as pencil and paper at MY desk. hehe)

Ahh... but the spiffy imac I use has this feature called 'stickies' which are a computerized version of post-it notes. You don't have to close them even with a memory hog like bryce. Just open a sticky and tap in your little bits of information, then you can transfer it to a word file or print it out later. Lin

Actually, I believe that MS Office has a feature like that., or rather MS Outlook, has a feature like that.


lsstrout posted Thu, 17 October 2002 at 12:06 PM

Really, I never noticed it on my PC.... I'll have to have a look.

Making notes is very handy. I don't use digital post-it notes, I have a really ugly but very handy mousepad. It is basically a whole bunch of pieces of paper kept together with a little bit of rubber. I can write all sorts of codinates, settings etc. on it and when one piece of paper is full I just pull it of the mousepad and a fresh new one appears.

I have a design journal, I note everything in it, with sketches, that way, should anything go wonky with my computer, I can reproduce the image somewhat accurately...
