Bryce 5, a 3D program used by many spriters and metaroom creators. Free for a limited time! Bryce 5 I posted this back in the CDN forum, but I want to make sure the word gets out. This deal ends September 6th see my post here for more info and also the post I have for Bryce tutorials: http://forums.gamewaredevelopment.com/showthread.php?t=6129 If you frequent a forum I don't, get the word out. I don't want anybody to miss this. Jess Stripes just aren't my color. |

For those of you interested in this program, I have a few pointers, suggestions, comments, and facts. Bryce was the first program I used. It has great landscape creation tools and an excellent texture lab, both of which I still use today. It also has a tree creator/editor, which is nice, but a little too structured for creating more interesting trees. The Texture Lab is impressive and contains a number of options for creating procedural textures. Another intersting fact is the volumetric materials which were the first of their kind. While they are no longer as advanced as the ones used in the professions suits, it still produces impressive results, at the cost of render time. An interesting fact to note is that, for the most part, the Norngarden series was made in Bryce, so while complex objects are possible, Bryce should not be considered a modeling program and contains no advanced tools for editing meshes. It uses basic Boolean operations and metaballs to form objects. It's rendering system is superb. Being one of the first, true, global illumination systems available, it is complex and yields great results. However, the render system is a bit dated now, and thus it can take some time to render a scene. Another usefull and noteworthy aspect of the program is the sky tools, which allow you to make every type of background imaginable. Bryce uses Key-Frame animation, much like other software available without all the advanced tools such as bones, rigs, etc. It does however, have a nice animation lab that will allow you to further refine your animations and preview them. That just about sums it up... |

I'm downloading the ZIP now, and I'll jump to the site after I post this, but... There's got to be a catch. Why would they give the program away for for free for naught but a week? O_o An interesting fact to note is that, for the most part, the Norngarden series was made in Bryce, so while complex objects are possible, Bryce should not be considered a modeling program and contains no advanced tools for editing meshes. It uses basic Boolean operations and metaballs to form objects. Does that mean norn breed making isn't recommended for this particular program? What do the 3rd party creators typically use to make new C3/DS norn breeds? You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there. -- Jim Adkins |

Please tell me, do you have to sign up? Because when I downloaded it, it came up with a username and password sort of screen. Do not upset the ugly worm, lest it be a dragon in disguise. (>oo)> |
