Here untill the 6 september 2006! :rolleyes:
Bryce is the program that got me interested in CG. Great fun and easy to use. Renders can be slow but Bryce renders quietly in the background without hogging resources letting you use your computer normally even if the render takes days. I think it is still the best for terrains to export even though I have Infinite. It’s worth getting just for the terrain exports.
Bic was the first on the trick!
I had made an error with the search engine of Zbc :o
Don’t worry Frenchy, I think your reputation is intact.
I forgive you:D
Two better than one?
Not to forget: version 6 of Bryce had been “announced” (means: no exact date, only that it will be there). Depending on the upgrade procedure(s) there might be a chance to get version 6 for less?
Maybe if you sidegrade from Hexagon, with the additional - free - crossgrade of Mudbox, including one Silo T-shirt (only XXXS in stock), one ZBrush key ring (leftovers from Siggraph), one upgrade from DAZ (Vicky SAE4) >> all for $1,00, but only for European users above or at 60.
The best of all possible worlds!?
I know… Lemo -> Hell -> Handbasket!

PS:THAT took quite a while to capture the beauty of Bryce renders with Mental Ray (running for cover…)
Well Lemo I ahvent used much of it but it looks as if we can create atleast classical 3d graphics with it :lol:
Different way of looking at things.
It’s great for free. One can start to model and see if he likes all that 3d-stuff without spending a dime. That’s cool. The moment you start to put a lot of effort into it… then the time has come to look for a more modern tool which can properly do justice to the effort spend.
Maybe the next Bryce 6 is a cool surprise! You never know. Till then my pic applies 8-))))))))))))))).

Thanks for the note, Pilou, it’s good to play with Bryce again. I love the Tree Lab. 50.
A tree generator? That’s cool. Can you then export your trees as .obj?
open the Tree Labo
For the export wait a minute
Export obj exist but…
Hu…sorry seems no so evident for a no preset object
But see this tut : seems to be the solution
Sorry it was for “OBP” = objet preset
Hu… not yet the solution Export format obj is always in grey color disable
(maybe in this version free version?
Terrain can be exported in OBJ, trees seems Not ?
Anybody has any idea about that?
I think this is something that still is there because of the initial purpose of Bryce (and the not altered code from Metacreations):
you can export terrains, nothing else (in 3D, as a mesh).
Bryce 5.5, the latest version behaves the same way. There are no comments if this will change with the upcoming version 6.
What you can do however is to work with “image planes”, much the way you do with the plants from xfrog (the new bundles): make your forest or any other kind of greenery and either use those pics for matte painting in PS - or use them on an alpha plane in proggies like Vue. “Instant forest(s)” with minimal cost concerning vertices/faces.
