Hey, just wanted to say... I LOVE THIS BATTLE AREA! This is even a better way for me to improve, seeing that the time can vary, and i could compete against someone that is only a 2 hour thing, or a weekly thing! Great idea! I will be having fun in here for lots of time to come user added image

Are you allowed to battle on different modelers? Such as Bryce Vs Maya, Lightwave Maya.....

I assume maya has to be involved because of the board place...

I dont have maya now. getting it soon... and i still use Bryce, poser, and just started using lightwave.

You are free to post your work and label it as "Bryce work".. in the WIP or Finished Work area. Just by no means is this a place to show off ALL your bryce work and all the work to come, because its "simply maya" and not "Simply Bryce".. but i would love to see a few of your images user added image

Hey mumbo jumbo! I love that idea too! Just one thing, i think the worst way to do that would be 100% through Photoshop. You could design a graphical template for the info to go into and that would be quite a bit easier. Actually, i have an idea as well. I will be back tonight and then i am going to make a image of it and show it to the board user added image

. I have to go though for several hours user added image

... be back later.
