Hi chelle, if you want to get in to 3D art then you can't go wrong with bryce 5.5 from daz. I think you can still find it there if not check for it on cnet. I'll see if i can find it. bryce is great for working with 3d models and has some great terrains and skys to work with. there is also a useful materials lab and light lab to use for texturing untextured models and an excellent skylab. have a look in the freepozitory section at the daz forum you will find some helpful free stuff links and you may find the 5.5 link there also. Oh bryce 5 is free also. I still have the installer somewhere I upgraded to bryce 6 but the version 5 is definitely still around as the upgrade is still quite new. If you want help i can certainly help there as a regular bryce user.

Hello,
My name is Bill, I'm sort of new, when I got here it said I hadn't logged in since 2005. I'm primarily a Lightwave and Vue user with some Poser on the side and PSP for texturing. Strictly a hobbyist, wish I had more time to spend on it. I received an email to vote on the cargo contest and liked what I saw when I got here.

I'm 51, live in Michigan, USA and work as a program manager to support my hobbies, which other than 3d include managing a couple web sites for friends, gaming on the 360 and astronomy when I can't sleep.

Hopefully you'll let me stay and I look forward to meeting you!

Welcome to the gladiators. For a 3D model programme that is free and supported by a foundation you could try Blender. I recomend it as a user.

I have posted a helpful tutorial for creating textures in blender in the Helpzone. I recomment version 2.47 and not 2.48 because it has a bug with externally created textures that still needs to be resolved. Also you may be interested in Bryce as a 3d image creation tool. Links are available here in the links area posted by Teranis.

welcome and enjoy your stay. You are among friends

Hi,

My name's Terrell

I've got plans for several projects centered about a sci-fi series that I've been writing. In developing the stories, I had gotten interested in visualizing the scenes, both in still and animated. This led me to start dabbling with Poser, Bryce, Carrara, and DAZ Studio.

Some of my stories are also related to Star Trek, and when I came across the stuff at Xcalpro and Ptrope's Re-Animated project, it eventually led me here.

I hope I can pick up some good tips and advice along the way.

Hi all,

PeterRama here... Uh... Let's see...

Been playing around with Bryce for a few years now and looking to start creating my own models and this looks like a good place to learn from.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Re: New Member Welcome Thread
 

Hi Peter, welcome to the house of fun. My suggestion for model building would be Blender. it is a free aplication and is nearly as good as maya and 3dmax and texturing is definitely possible using photoshop or similar. i use it and have fun with it. Bryce modelling is a little limited. Check the links section here for a link to the blender foundation. I recoment version 2.47 as 2.48 has a tendancy to crash when using bmp files.
