Bryce 5

Bleekster · 09-20-2004

Does anyone use Bryce 5? I do It is a 3D Environment Rendering program and it is absolutely brilliant, although it isn't free, I got it from my uncle for free though

Im only new to it, but I do know what to do.

I've had a fiddle with it and must admit that it seemed simple enough. I've certainly seen the amazing artwork people can create with the program...

yeah, it is stunning, at the moment Im using it to create game environments

IMHO Vue d'Esprit is a lot better.

LOL, things have come a long way since I modelled weapons for a Quake 2 TC using a very dodgy vertex-only fan-designed modeller.

lol, If you want a free character Modeller, look up GMax, its made by the guys who made 3DS Max, Im trying it now oh and Im going to try that Vue d'Esprit sounds good. But at the moment Im looking into Lightwave, Maya and 3DS Max

Well, you only need to master Maya there (which is easer said than done, I know) and just give don't care about Lightwavee and 3dsm

I admit that Maya is a FANTASTICALLY powerful application... but I'd need to dedicate my life to it to get decent results...

Bleekster · 09-24-2004

Im probably the same......but once you get the hang of it, it gets easy....like Photoshop

Well it all depends on how many thousands of dollars you want to spend. For me, i'm not even sure I want to stick with 3d, so i'm using blender. Its Free!

Maya is for serious modelers or millionares. The top end version , maya umlimited ( that offers unlimited polys) costs $7000 or there abouts. Then you have maya pro which i think is 2700-2500 polys and regular maya is under 2000.

You have to have lots of money and a serious comitment to modeling for you to benifit from alias products. You should master bryce before you upgrade to a more advanced product. As soon as you feel bryce is holding you back ,upgrade, by all means!

**Man1c M0g** · 09-24-2004

Well, I do agree with you there onbrid. Its why I hope Biorust can concentrate on more affordable products (i.e. Cinema 4D, Blender, Bryce), before going on to the ultra expensive Maya and 3DSMAX

Bleekster · 09-24-2004

I agree aswell....having expensive programs like Maya and have tutorials and the rest on the program and only a handful of people have the program, which leaves out the others who like affordable or free 3D programs.

i used to mess around with bryce alot i got it for free from erhm "other sources"

its a pretty decent program for newbs and expierenced u can make some pretty sick abstract in bryce if you want to see i know a guy that uses only bryce and makes some sick stuff

Bleekster · 09-25-2004

As Ive been saying, Im using it to create game environments, but Im looking for some other programs to work with if you know any please post them here (Enviro Modellor programs)
