Slepalex - thank you. I set out to create something quite different but got carried away (as usual) and there are several things one can see in the result; it is somehow ambiguous.
mermaid and Tim - thank you.
MrMilenia - welcome to this forum. You show us excellent work.
Hansmar and Rieke77 - thank you.
MrMilenia - welcome to the forum, great modeling.
Horo : double stacked terrains is awesome, like a crack in a rock filled with water or other substance.
mermaid : thank you.
MrMilenia : both renders are well done.
Hi my name is Dave I am 72 years old and have been trying out Bryce for just over a Week .Certainly getting the old brian working ...this is the last render made today
adbc - thank you.
spuddy - welcome to this forum Dave (I'll reach your juvenile age next year). You are good at Bryce, beautifully rich vegetation, great render. I hope we'll see more from you.
One terrain and a train from Daz 3D, an HDRI for the sky and ambient light and the sun. 1.2 GB Memory used, file size 180 MB.
Hi Dave!
You are obscuring something about one week at Bryce. It took me several years to reach such a level of work as your picture.
Thank you Horo much appreciated
thanks for your comment Slepalex ..but no; no obscuring as you state...I have been through my files and have spent approx 56 hrs learning Bryce spread over April and May culminating with this post so I suppose my statement could be misleading and I appologise for that esp as it seems to have upset you in some way.....I will be posting some of the work leading up to this last render .......
Hi Dave and welcome to the forum, thats a fantastic start if you are only new to bryce!!! ...great job :)
Not at all! I'm not upset. I am very pleased that a new member has appeared in our small community. I hope for a long time.
Is this double stacked terrain? I dream of such a scree texture in Bryce in a single terrain. I have seen similar in other programs, Vue, Terragen, etc.
Suppose I can create terrain using Bryce and GeoControl2. But how to make a texture? I did not succeed.
@ spuddy - what a wonderful render and great vegetation. Welcome to the forum!
@ Horo - great terrain with wonderful texture.
Slepalex - thank you. No, not stacked this time, a single material from our Terrain Stacking set, but I replaced the texture in channel A. I'm not really good at creating materials and textures (though I made a few that came out fine), most materials and textures for our sets were made by David Brinnen. What I found out is that a material can look excellent on a terrain with a certain lighting but can look horrid on another terrain and/or different lighting. I usually try many materials and when I found one that works, start to exchange the texture in channel A, B and/or C. I also often change the colours or size. Starting with a pleasing material makes it easier to modify the textures, colour and size to optimise it for your scene at work. For all materials I have (mostly from our sets), I saved the textures separately so it is easy to create a new material without starting from scratch.
Rieke77 - thank you.
Spuddy - Welcome to the forum! Wow awesome work for someone new to Bryce, love the vegetation.
Horo - very nice terrain with great texture.
Thank you Tim82 and for the welcome...thank you Slepalex Although I am mainly a digital painter I hope to continue with Bryce and this Forum...Thank You Rieke for your supportive comment and the welcome
Horo Nice texture and scene I really like the sky as well
As promised the renders below are in chronilogical order and some are evolving scenes as I was learning and trying out things............ I have a large amount of material but won't offload in one go
the very first one won me first prize in" Landscape" Digital art competition and that got me into using Bryce ..I used it for the competition because renders were winning against digital Paintings more and more
the second one won me 3rd prize in "Africa" competition the acacia trees are notpart of bryce render only the foreground left and central ones are
the next two were experiments trying things out
The next one was trying out symmetrical lattice
the next three were trying out canyon
the next two throw back to my space paintings
they were all part of my early learning curve and I still have a long long way to go
Wow very impressive work, thanks for sharing Spuddy. You should join the Bryce Challenges.
mermaid - thank you.
spuddy - thank you. Really impressive example you present here. I agree with mermaid, join the 41st Bryce Render Challenge - for Bryce New User there's a special price.
Thanks Horo. I am pretty good at techniques with ABC texture, as well as adjusting and mixing in height and slope. But it worked out perfectly for you. A uniform scree with a slope and the spurs of the mountains have a different texture. Moreover, these textures almost do not intersect. Well, we will try.
In the meantime, I made a double stacked terrain. The snow in low gorges and valleys has not yet melted, so it is located below the main mass of snow.
Wonderful scenery, spuddy! The hand of the artist is felt!
And you want to say that you created all this during the week of training at Bryce?
Thank you Mermaid010 and Horo for your supportive comments
here are some of the other renders i did while learning
the second one i was working out how to get things in the far distance
five to eight were made from a rock
no nine etc i was trying to make a cave .i wanted an epic space lit from a hole in the roof it was a bit fiddly but mostly got there ending with an underground city
no twelve trying to make a far tree line without using trees
no 13 different view of same render
the rest are the lead up to my first post the last four are from the same basic render with rocks added and navigated around
so that's me up to datebut I haven't included all the varients of the same scene
I will take a look at the challenges so see if it suits me
Slepalex - that stacked one came out very nice. It also depends on the size of the terrain, but this you know as well.
spuddy - obviously, you have some art background. Your learning examples are very good. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Slepalex glad you like them .........to answer you Absolutely!... I have spent approx 56 hrs learning and experimenting with Bryce so no it's isn't a monday to sunday week which you seem fixated on for some reason .....please try not to judge my work by your own past experience learning bryce....the point is the number of hours spent learning..I Did in fact say it was just over a week not that it really matters...why is this so hard for you to accept?...if I was a sensitive soul which I am not i would be feeling slightly under some sort of accusing cloud here. all I can state are the facts I spend 6 to 8 hrs painting on and off during the day or in this case playing with bryce but not every day hence the spread........ that said most have been produced in the last three weeks as the learning accelerated...I found the tutorials by David Brinnen very useful plus any others I could find
Okay
Spuddy, Dave: Very welcome to the forum. I agree with Slepalex: fantastic work with the hand of an artist. You catch up on your Bryce technique must faster than I have ever done. Amazing work for a novice. Please do not take part in the contests..... I already am outclassed by many others, so it would only make my chances smaller...
No, really, you should participate. All the more fun when you work on a theme, I find.
Horo, very good looking terrain, with great texture indeed.
Slepalex: Very nice terrain. And you're texture is marvelous.
Thank you Hansmar and thank you Horo and Slepalex
I think that it's just as primarily I'm a painter I know what I want from an image so plug away until I get the look I am seeking I really only have a pretty basic knowledge
@spuddy, fantastic work and it dose not matter if you have been using bryce for a year or a day! ....the results speak for themselves! .....please keep at it, i think its safe to say we all are looking forward to your future scenes :)
Slepalex - lovely mountains, the texture and lighting go well together
Spuddy - wow, I'm in awe of your beautiful work, for a beginner your work is fantastic, I especially like the vegetation in most of them, keep them coming.
@ spuddy - so many awesome landscapes. I like it all.
@ Slepalex - great; I like the snow-covered peaks and the green foothills.
@ Slepalex.....I really like the effect on the mountains it is very realistic ...
Thanbks Tim82 and Mermaid101 for your support...Dave
A quickie Experiment applying a fractal to a drawn symmetrical lattice to see what happened and navigating around it . ...What's the point of that you are prob saying. Well in my ignorance of Bryce I just thought it would give me a complete global terrain to navigate around ...no curse of the black edge ....it gave me what looked like buildings to me on the hilltop so even if it is a pointless thing to do it gave me what I was looking for.No doubt I will be trying out other very strange pointless ways of using bryce....
