Am I insane or was in possible..in Bryce 3...to add effects to animations? I REALLY seem to recall a film grain effect used on an animation of fighter planes...you know that scratchy, looks like a WWII film, effect thing. AM I dreaming or is it, was it, possible to do that in native Bryce? -Claymor

Sounds like the digieffects aged film plugin for Photoshop. There's an image here if you scroll down. http://www.annsartgallery.com/poser.html The filter is here... http://www.digieffects.com/ http://www.polar-graphics.com/aged_film_details.html If you don't want to buy one of the digieffects products, there's a tut on how to create the aged film effect here... http://www.digitalproducer.com/2002/08_aug/tutorials/08_12/pssepia020814.htm you'd have to do an action and batch render to make it work on an animation. Pain in the rear, but doable. Hope this helps.

Actually it was probably done in Adobe After Effects, Photoshop is for still imagery and After Effects is Photoshop's video/animation counterpart.

It could have even been done in Quicktime Pro - it has a scratches filter (film noise) in there (it puts adjustable hair and scratches in your movie) and it only costs $29.95. You get a boatload of effects and abilities when you unlock Quicktime with the Pro key. It also has a sepia filter to give your 'film' that brown look to it, etc. It also does cool simple things like taking a folder full of images and converting it to a movie. Anyone who animates in Bryce knows to render frames instead of full movies so you can pick up your render at the next frame after a crash or system interrupt, etc. Get Quicktime Pro - you'll love it. www.apple.com/quicktime (works for Mac and Windows).

Heyas Unkka Tucka!!! :-0

heyas Clay! Where's Daddy? LOL

If you wanted to keep it all in bryce, you could take a "square" flat 2d face object, track it to the camera, and position it so that it's right in front of the camera. Then apply a bunch of materials with heavy transperency to the face, and animate the scene as usual. It's like using a gel, or a filter, only in Bryce. Only problem is it might take a lot of work to reproduce the effects you are seeking within the Materials Lab... Good luck!

Animation shop 3 does it too, the effects called scan lines.

Quicktime6 Pro does about everything you could possibly want to do to a graphics or sound file to either prepare it for the web, burn it to CD or make a full video resolution movie. It also has a killer feature for presenting movies that blacks out the background so you just see the movie. Just the thing for showing off your latest demo reel or watching a new trailer. I'm sure Clay uses it too : ) Scott
