Advanced Bryce Creations

Bryce is a program used to create stunning scenes and environments. This text provides insights into the hidden tools and functionality which users may have overlooked, providing in-depth tutorials and creations to teach new skills and encourage increased performance. The emphasis throughout the book is on the creation of eight different projects, from beginning to completion. The projects range from "The Great Blue-Ice Throne Room" to the "Adobe of the Lizard Masters". Every step of the creation process is covered in these detailed, hands-on projects to illustrate the variety of uses for Bryce in conjunction with other popular tools. The final part of the book includes an extensive colour section illustrating each of the projects in the form of a comic. This unique approach aims to provide all types of Bryce users from 3D designers, artists, movie-makers and game designers, to fantasy and comic book designers with innovative ideas, to use in their own creations.
Explaining how to use Bryce as a high-end, professional illustration tool in conjunction with other powerful programs including KPT, Photoshop and Poser, the text: shows how to use KTP 3, 5, and 6 for dramatic effects; teaches 3D scene composition and lighting in new ways; presents digital artists with new ways of illustrating stories; shows users how to create all types of environments and worlds from photorealistic to complete fantasy; and demonstrates the use of a variety of elemental effects for creating new worlds. The CD (Win and Mac) includes objects and scene material used to create the projects covered in the book. Animations from these projects are also included along with a variety of demo programs.
