What's special bout Bryce?
Wednesday, November 20, 2002 by @shu | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I can't seem to understand what is so special about Bryce? I use POVRay, a freeware to render my WP's and it works just fine. Maybe I would like it if I could try it out, but it seems that there is no demo or shareware version of Bryce.
Well whatever!!!!

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

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.

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