Looks like I gots to get two copies now for Christmas presents!!

Mybe one 4 me too JM, I'd love one too. Perhaps it'd make me go for that $200 package....

I might have to bring it to you in my next life, ashu...

i'll be waiting... hehe

You don't mind an Eagle flying over and dropping a book down your chimney do you?

not at all....
in fact i'd like it if that eagle drops in for some milk and cookies

Back on subject...
I suggest that all you bryce haters go down to www.3dcommune.com and check the bryce section.
It has some outstanding art, artists that jump to mind are Pinhead, kaes and Hobbit.
they show that it isn't the program, its the artis.
It uses booleans, yes, but doesn't a painting use booleans.
unless your memory of peinting only reachers fingerpainting in kindergarten you'd know that every painting starts out with simple objects like cubes and cylinders.
A great artist in bryce could be a loser in 3ds max or LW (lightwave)
i installed Blender a short time ago... when i used it for five minutes my computer crashed.
the only terrain freeware proggie i recommend is terragen, which still has a long road ahead before it supports vegetation, trees, realistic rivers, rocks...

mich2k: And then again lots of people don't need a 'terrain generator' to make terrain. You think there is no difference between somone that can do that quality of work freehand and someone who lets bryce make their trees for them?

What makes me mad is when people are like "What? You expect me to actually draw trees and mnountains myself???? Why should I waste the time learning to draw water?"

Comparing Bryce to real Artistic craft is like comparing Legos to Sculpture. Sure, you can make pretty stuff, but 90% of everyone who uses it is just piecing together premade stuff, or worse, letting Bryce do it.

Kudos to the 10% that do the right thing.

WOM,

yeah, my email is correct, why?

baker...in all honesty I'd be willing to bet the percentages are not 90 - 10 but more like 99 - 1...

Eeeeeeeeerrr I don't have Bryce...

Styl Skinner, I tried to email you and it bounced back.

You could also try it at [email protected]
But i think ronmeijer14@hotmail is right, i've received some mails before from people who are around wincustomize, that wanted me to created something for ehm.
So you can mail it to hotmail or yahoo, but also ask it now i am around here.

I have created all my WP's in POVRay, I've used booleans and stuff. And I think that my stuff too has come out looking good (if I may say so myself). That brings me back to the basic question: Why $200 for stuff that can be done as well as better on a freeware?
And as for the gallery mich2K, goto povray.org and check out their IRTC website: you'll see what I am talking aout.

Ashu, povray is yesterday's news, buddy... got to move up to the real world.

What can I say to that...
Except: 'OLD is GOLD' muh man..
by the way, POVRay has a newer version out.........

Just ribbing you, buddy...

The same to you buddy

See you after the holidays, Ashu, I gotta go to my sister's in Virginia for a few days for Thanksgiving. Take care.

I have Bryce 4&5 and if you get past the landscapes you can do just about about anything with it. I just DL POVRay and all I saw was a bunch of text and when I tried to render it gave me an error, so I trashed it. Bryce is wide open you just have to know how to manipulate the program to get it to do what you want.

My two cents.

Agree with monty, if you rule bryce, you rule wincustomize.
Das any one know where adni makes his wall from?
I've noticed that it looked very much like bryce work.

Styl skinner I really wouldn't say "you rule wincustomize". I don't know what you meant by that but their are alot of great artists here that never used Bryce.

And I believe adni uses Bryce and Photoshop to create his walls.

their=there

i usd bryce at one time till my trial ran out then i was forced to learn my 3ds, and ill tell you it was not easy going from cookie cutter to 3d modeling work check my walls you can see my transition to 3ds. I havent touched bryce since.

I didn't say I rule wincustomize, but adni sure das!
