    @Fire Angel - thank you. You're definitely right about the way the material is rendered because it is different from the others. I have to look at it more closely when I get a bit of time. You never know whether the effect can be exploited for some controlled effect. -- The singer looks great.

    @TheSavage64 - very nice plant. You never know when you can use it for a package of fertilizer. Mushrooms look great.

    @M1chaelFrank - very very nice flowers and shapes, nicely coloured, too. It is really a pleasure to look at them.

    @bullit35744 - Starburst looks great.

    He reminds me of the terminator movie.....looks good with the Bryce materials much better than what he came with

    Here with the re-textured version of my metaball mushrooms.

    Mermaid; Your picture looks good does not look like blobs to me...I knew you could convert to a mesh I didn't know you could convert to a meataball.....

    Thanks Trish ... the blobs were deleted. lol

    Awesome work by Trish, Dave and Michael. I’m still having fun with replicating without much success with metaballs. I’m still getting blobs and globs. Michael your work is magnificent.

    Electro-elvis – I like your experiments with the terrain.

    Did someone say mushroom?? Except for the mushroom, all these replicates were done using tori, spheres and cylinders and then converted them to metaballs.

    The background is an abstract I did in Bryce and then saved it as a jpg and brought it in on a 2D


    There are great experiments you have here. It may be slow going, but take your time with it. Try replicating just a few objects at a time, and look closely at the results. Go backward and make one little alteration at a time, and see what it does. Don't change all nine fields at once... just change one field at a time, and you'll start to see more precisely what happens.

    Thanks Michael, experimenting is fun, except for many crashes I have. Thanks for posting your inspiring work.

    @Fire Angel - The render looks great.

    @TheSavage64 - beautiful plant and mushrooms.

    @M1chaelFrank - you work is very inspiring, love the colors and textures too

    @bullit35744 - The starburst looks great. so does your robot

    It is neither known, what task this little droid is made for, nor how it is moving on. (ASFAIK it is not able to walk at all, because of the bad construction. With the first step it is going to fall over *wink*)
    BTW Entirely made with Bryce illuminated by a HDRI.

    @bullit35744: I hope you get well soon!

    @Trish - that is amazing. Ear ache can hurt very much. Hope you get well soon.

    @electro-elvis - that's a cool robot. I think it should be able to walk provided it has got a good processor inside.

    @Rareth - more vegetable than meat, nice to meet it, though. Very nicely done.

    This morning before I left to go out to do some (paid) work, I added the Shrooms to my greenery scene. As that's why I decided to make them in the first place. Render time just short of 6 hours, though it is a bigger render.

    Been a little while since I posted. Here's a castle roof. Built some of the booleans in 3DS and brought them into Bryce and finished it off. I need to learn more on UV Mapping but I am getting more and more comfortable with the modeling aspect. I hope not too bad with being only 2-3 weeks into modeling for the first time.


    I was able to also export it as I built the subcomponents properly. So I was able to create the OBJ, OBP, and 3DS versions of the roof in Bryce. Excited as I tested the import on my desktop and worked beautifully! :)

    Oh a scene I rendered this weekend using a character in DAZ, sending it to Bryce and merging it with a free scene I found on-line. Oddly the send from DAZ did a pretty interesting and cool effect with the lower portion of her skirt. It made it see-thru to show her legs. I verified in DAZ that the Opacity was set to 100 so not fully sure how that happened! lol. However, it worked out nicely!


    The model is a morph of Victoria 6 and I used some additional lighting in Bryce to add some life to the scene as well.

    Thanks Poetman... your model looks to be coming along nicely.

    I've been thinking about my mushrooms and am wondering whether to do a mkII version with gills on the underside of the cap. It would mean having to alter each metaball to 'positive' So I could boolean a negative flattened sphere to them (with boolean option to transfer negative material) and then also multi-replicate for the actual gills... something I may persue this evening as it would make the mushroom a lot more angle friendly.

    If you provide a screenshot of the Material Lab for the skirt, and possibly also from the Surfaces tab of DS if it matters, we might be able to determine what happened.
    I have found that transparency doesn't always transfer correctly from DS and has to be fixed in Bryce after the transfer. However, it may turn out to be something else too.

    Thanks! I would LOVE to see that. I have so much more difficulty getting the odd boolean shapes to work correctly in Bryce for some reason. The basics and some composites I get without issue. Other very complex boolean "layers" they just don't turn out as easily and nicely as with 3DS for some reason. It must be just how I combine the booleans together in Bryce.

    right now, I am having a difficult time trying to transfer a nice rock block design I created to a sphere and then to a block. Perhaps it's not even possible. I get it close by shrinking the sphere and making the block Intersecting. I tried negative with material transfer but that didn't work at all.

    No too overly concern as it was just a test setup moreso to get a better fell on how to transfer content in. One thing I need to get a better handle on first is how to send a character in DAZ that doesn't crash Bryce due to it's massive polygon size.

    @M1chael: The group of images is simply stunning.

    @electro: Love that little guy. Nice work.

    @Trish: Meatball work really looks nice, love the colors most of all. Hope the ear ache subsides soon.

    @Dave: The mushrooms really turned out well, and look even better in the scene. And the scene looks even better with the mushrooms.

    @poetman: Hope we get to see the rest of the castle. Though a bit dark for my taste, that scene looks good.

    Just something I was fiddling around with today in Bryce and 3DS. A medieval wood plank for wood gates and floors. I'm really big on imperfections in objects as it brings a party of reality into them in my opinion.

    Wow! very cool. so the gills were just booleans?

    Thanks.

    Yup, they consist of a sphere (set to positive in attributes), squashed so it's nearly flat on it's Z axis then auto-replicated 30 times at 6° on the Y axis. Then a negative torus is added to make the underside concave curve then group them together and it's done.
