Description
My very first Bryce Project! I'm having so much fun learning this wonderful new piece of software! It's a much-needed break away from GIMP. It's nothing special, but I just felt like sharing.Art

Hi Fence post?
I've been reading many of your tutorials and I've downloaded a few of your gimp brushes, i was wondering if you could give me a working link to the tutorial you made this from cus i can't find one unfortunately.
many thanks: deathtree

Hey, deathtree. Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, it appears that the entire site where the tutorial was located has disappeared from the web. It was here: [link] Try checking that link for the next couple of days and see if it comes back, but I don't think it will. If it doesn't, I'll try to write one up, but it will be after the holidays. Is that ok?
Take care and thanks for the fave!

ohh, really nicley done! I could never get anything like that if i tried doing 3D, nice talent.

I'll bet you could. If I can do it, you can! Following a tutorial is easy. It's creating something without one, where I have trouble. Thanks for commenting.
Take care.

I like it, very nice. I'm downloading and setting up Bryce now..
Thanks for the heads up!

I don't know how to save or exit on that thing... help me!

Yeah, that part got me at first. You must move your cursor to the very top left of your monitori (not the top of the Bryce window) and the standard menus (file, edit, etc.) will appear. Then you can close and save from there. To close, you can also hit Ctrl+Q.

aha.. yes. its going to take me a while to get use to the program. i don't know how to make characters though. i'm clueless so i'm going to read on some tutorials. lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, Bryce isn't a "regular" 3D modeling program like Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D etc. It's really made for landscapes, but you can import things from other 3D programs to use in Bryce. If you're looking to model actual characters, you may need something else. Anim8or is a good free one that I've played with ([link] ) art of illusion is a free java-based 3D modeler ([link] ) I think both are good tools and might be of interest to you as well.

Hee, Hee I already have something that does the same thing as Bryce. I wasn't sure exactly what Bryce did so I wasn't postitive. But my daughter told me that My Blender Program will do the same type of things. Also If I get another free program called Terragen I can make terrain easier. But I can also do that in Blender. So I don't need Bryce just need to practice my Blender. You should get Blender it will go on Windwos. I have it there and on my linux (it comes in the packages in synaptic in linux) and my datugher puts it on all her computers. It is a great 3-D program. Works great with Gimp. I don't have any programs I bought so I don't know a lot about them just what I read. But I love my GNU Licensed programs. They are great. GIMP is GNU. So If your Bryce doesn't last or you are curious get Blender.

I had Blender once, but it Scared me! O_o! I've thought about getting it again, but It'll probably be awhile as I'm having too much fun with this. I've seen Terragen stuff and it's incredible as well. The one thing I do like about this is I can use my renders in stereograms as Bryce will let you create a depth map, which is what represents the hidden image. I know Blender does it and Terragen probably does too, but I'm on a roll with this one!
Glad you've got something you can use. Hope to see some of your creations soon!

I tried to put Bryce on my windwos partition but I can't find the serial number it wants me to give. It wasn't in the e-mail I got that confirmed my registration so where is it. I can't get mine to start without it. Or did I do something weird. I don't go in windows much so I could have. Did you get a serial number with your free Bryce and if you did where did you get it?

When you install it, Bryce should try and connect to DAZ. When it does, you will be given a serial number which you can copy/paste into the designated location. Let me know if you still have problems.

Already did that no serial number appeared anywhere. I wonder what happened?

Maybe try uninstalling and redoing it. *scratches head*

It is probably my windows partition. I don't go there much and keep it fixed up so it doesn't always work too well. But it never worked too well when I did. I am sorry I shouldn't bash Windows it was my first operating system. There are a few things to like about it. Now if I can only think what those are. Don't shoot me. I am being naughty.

Hey, you gotta go with what you like. I've just got too many irons in the fire to try out Linux. I will one day, but for now, I'm just too busy.

I can second that. Blender is truly frighteneing! *run away!*

I going to check with my daughter. She is the queen of free. She will know if there is another one comparable to bryce. I am not sure but, I many already have the other one I am thinking of on my windows partition. I should check. I like your orb though. But I hope you aren't going to stop makiing gimp tutorials cause you got interested in this. If so WAH!
I'll actually survive. I have so many tutorials to go though now I should be busy for awhile. Hee, Hee.

Terragen is free too, but it's pitiful next to Bryce.
Check out our journal for a bunch of tested stuff and safe links.

I wasn't comparing it to Bryce. I just said it made nice terrians. It Doesn't compare to Blender either.

None taken I guess I do get a bit zealous about it though. So I suppose that is why you felt I was taking offense. I wasn't really. My thoughts were not hostile at all. I just have to be more careful how I express myself I suppose.

Thanks! Well, if you don't have the other program, check Bryce out....you've got until Sept. 20th.
As far as GIMP....nah, I'll never stop with that! I just need a break. I'm trying to figure out ways to utilize Bryce and GIMP together. This should be a LOT of FUN!

Ohh that would be interesting. Is the Bryce one of those that they only let you use for a short time or is it free forever. I hate it when the time runs out and you can't use the program anymore. Had that happen once cause I didn't read all of the info. Did you read all the gobblety goop that told about the terms of use. If not you might get the same surprise I got once. But I hope not cause that is annoying. That is why I hope there is a GNU program that is comparable. Cause I know they won't cut me off so I will buy them. That is the only reason I don't bother to get such things Where is the site you got it. I am curious if they are temporary or permanent. I guess I could read thier terms of use statement and see.
Have fun

Yep. It's free forever. They've rolled out a new version and by giving this one away they hope to capture more paying customers in the future. I'm on board with that!

Yes, Blender is not only free, it's open source as well. It's a bit daunting, even those experienced in 3D say so, but it does produce remarkable work.

Free forever if you download and register it soon!

Blender is just as good so I will just stick with it.

Hmm. I wasn't all that impressed with Blender. It seemed a bit rough around the edges to me. I should still include it in the free programs list. It is free, if I remember, isn't it?

Blender has a learning curve but it is a powerful program. If you are diligent with learning it you can do things along the lines of Pixar. It's interface could use a bit of fixing to be more user friendly but I don't see that happening soon. But I still love what it can do. Most people take one look at it and say ewwww...that looks scary. It is but it is worth the freight.

My appologies. I mixed another program up with Blender. It could have been a combination of BladePro and Wings 3D. Both okay, but... I Blender was the one I was actually wanting.

Download.com had a dead link to version 2.1something. I finally exited. Do you have another link?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No that's the link from Bryce. However, I just tried it and had no problems with it. Maybe there was just a lot of traffic.
