A question about camera views...

Hi all,

Yep, it's ANOTHER dumb question. :) But it's a very simple one, and I can't seem to find it answered anywhere. Does Bryce have the capability to do a quad camera view? I get kind of nuts without being able to have that, and it SEEMS like there might be an option... all info appreciated. :)

If you mean can you set up the viewport with a top, front, left and right view displayed at the same time, the answer is no.

Switching between views is simple enough though using the numbers on your keyboard.

Learning some Bryce keyboard short cuts is a must.

You have more flexibility if you use the Perspective Camera. By default, the Directors Camera is selected. Bryce comes without documentation, but you can find a lot here: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/artzone/pub/software/bryce/start. The Bryce 7 Artist Guide - PDF is still a WIP but it contains most of what you need.

I couldn't agree more.. .most people don't realize that in the long run, using the mouse as little as possible can make a huge difference to your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, likelihood of getting carpal tunnel and thoracic outlet syndrome, etc etc etc. Anyway, I'll keep working with it. :)

I list quite a few shortcuts on my video's as I use them, look for ones to suit your level of ability if you feel you can learn from video tutorials. http://www.youtube.com/user/davidbrinnen

Either one should be fairly complete:

Since there is such an interest in shortcuts, I compiled a list of what I could gather here and there. 9 page PDF here: http://www.horo.ch/docs/mine/pdf/BryceKybdShorties.pdf

@Horo: Thanks for that list.
