...But I must say, Bryce is an okay bulwark against boredom.

Qreepy has nothing to say in response to my post directed towards him?
And people still say he wins the thread?
Fascinating.

This thread is far from a spam war.

What the fuck? Do you mean flame war? In which case you need to get a fucking clue and realize what flaming is. Flaming is against the rules, so this should've been locked.

This is an intelligent discussion/debate. Don't derail it with complaints.

Looks like I missed [that train. But whatever, I'll respond tomorrow maybe, cause now its too late for me to make much sense, k.

And besides, you can't say Maya and company is worse than Bryce with out giving it a shot. That's plum silly.

[Porgy]

im still laughing at the comment mwerp made about RJ's professionalism compared to professional maya/3dsm/xsi users. That was rich i must say. I had lunch with a friend over at cafeFX the other day and i mentioned that. He just shook his head.

Care to prove me wrong?

mwerp... would you mind posting some examples for what you are talking about? as an art n00b, i'm curious... you've said alot that Bryce isn't just about this and can do that... would you mind showing me some examples of its capabilities? i think it would also help you prove your case if you had some graphic examples.

well to start, reference the entire collective works of Pixar. Just to start.....

yeah, I'd kind of like to see Bryce simulate such advanced techniques as High Dynamic Range Imaging, photon simulation (or any example of realistic austics), sub surface scatter textures, genuine "final gather" renders, and global illumination. (I know for a fact it can't.) But just one of those, and I'll shut up.

Goodness gracious you are a fool.
Does Pixar do abstract art?
No.
They're about 3d modeling.
Now get your ass back on track and stay on topic.

How about you be more specific as to what you want. You want examples of what I've been talking about? I've been talking about so much. Or by capabilities do you mean what it can do other than toruses/spheres?

[Tasselfoot]

what it is capable of doing other than just toruses and spheres. porgy and crew keep talking about how it lacks the ability to do alot and how it takes longer, doesn't look as good, etc... perhaps you could post what you feel are close to the limits of Bryce's capabilities...

or, if its easier for you... you could go back through your multitude of quotes and pick a few pieces that best illustrate your point. they do say that a picture says a thousand words.

[Mwerp]

I believe Toph already linked to a good one used in Prophetess but I don' t know how good you people are at using your eyes.

I don't think it's possible for me to show you something close to the limit of Bryce's capabilities. I can, however, show you stuff besides shiny toruses/spheres etc.



No I didn't use spheres for Realization.


The renders are more ambient in Love Is Eternity, but you can tell it's not shiny toruses.


So..?

well let's see. Your quote was verbatim:

Radical Julian still uses Bryce and he's far more professional than Maya, Lightwave, 3DSM, etc. users. True, opinion. Seriously though, maybe you should take a closer look into his collection if you think at least he(because I'm assuming there are better Bryce users out there) isn't as good if not better than the others.

Now I don't know how other people read this but to me it says "Radical Julian is more professional than anybody else that use maya, lightwave, etc. Nowhere does it say what style of art you are referring to. Now if YOU will stop making a fool of yourself now.

Oh and as for your collection. They have been so manipulated in photoshop its really kinda hard to see where Bryce was used in the first place. Hell, I'd be so bold as to say that in the current state of of the images they could be recreated easily using a variety of brushes and filters in photoshop and just skip the bryce part completely. Would probably save you time.

PS. I think all of them except the first one blow balls. And even the first one isnt great I just like the color scheme. Even I could have found better Bryce artwork than that to show.

[Squeek]

Mwerp, one thing.

Can you describe for me what these are?

Because to ME, that's no different from this.
