i haven't been using bryce enough lately (in the last year or so actually) so i'd be seriously rusty in writing any kind of decent tutorial for bryce. =\

Heheh, that makes enough sense.

hehe.. once you get into it it's really neat. i have never even got into the tree lab myself, but i've used the mountain creation tool a bit and most of the materials lab stuff as well as the basics and some intermediate.. most of my old bryce renders usually consisted of abstract until i got a handle on how to create real objects. i used to do it with seams and everything.. not very well. but after some time and practice you just get better!

hmm.. neat i've been waiting for a tutorial on something like that for a long time.
do you happen to know what the equivalent of Metaball is in 3ds max?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks. while i don't really know much about the workings of 3ds max.. ~Cevius in the previous post might be able to help out there. he also mentioned that because the apps are similar, the difference in creation between programs is pretty minimal.. so it's probably called something similar to what it is in C4D.

Thats very clever! and what else is good is that this tutorial aplies to so many different systems. In systems like 3dsMax you would be able to get the faces near the stream and the puddle and use some little poly meshing and a meshSmoothing tool to clean it up and make it nice. that would be better if the camera moves cause it would be hard to make sure the photoshoping lined up.

ahh very nice, and thanks! ~DonBertone just asked me in the next post here what the equivalent of the metaball is in 3ds Max.. though i don't know, i told him to see your post here.
