Schools offer *courses* in Bryce?

I thought the whole idea of Bryce was that it just made beautiful landscape pictures with no operator intervention required? I guess it's been a while since I looked at it. user added image

This one guy here at SM (don't remember who) said that he first picked up 3D modleing when he saw Bryce at his school way back when. That's where I heard. Type in "Bryce courses 3D" at Google.com and you can find lots of training for it.

Bryce was the first program I ever used. Very simple, but effective to a degree. Nothing near as highend as Maya, of course, but it's cool.

Scroll about 1/3 of the way down this thread and you'll see JB's post. That's where I heard schools had Bryce. I guess he never actually said "course" though. user added image

Yeah, they had the demo on a few PC's - that's when I met 3D (I was mesmerised by the sheer lack of individual pixel visibility). But they never taught us anything at all to do with it. They also had battle chess, hearts and minesweeper and never taught us those either user added image.

Bryce is REALLY easy to learn! You can make stunning landscapes, but the only modelling you can do is using booleans on the primitives supplied. It has a sweet little terrain mapper, and easy animation controls. I haven't used it for ages because of Maya.

Now that I have experienced Maya's camera navigation, I realise that the one in bryce is ANNOYING!

PS. those pics were definitly made with Bryce. One of them (2nd from the bottom on the right) has the famous supplied 'Leo' image texture that just about everybody uses in their first work with Bryce!!

Since Bryce is a raytracer only, that's how you can tell right away that those types of images were done with Bryce.

It just has that "look" to it....

Very true, and most of the time, if you see a endless horizon line across the screen with a sky and somehting is stuck in front of it, you can tell it's bryce

Bryce is my first software I've used for 3D user added image

It's quite a nice software...
simple (for landscape and nature),
easy (really easy), and
user-friendly(take long time to change parameters)

You can achieve complicated model with only photoshop and bryce.... very interesting

anyway, it brings me into the world of 3D

I think Bryce is something different now than when I stopped playing with it (which was just prior to version 2.)
