i've been considering buying this because it is only 59 dollars, but i wanted to know if you guys think its worth it, or will i be disappointed?

If you aren't very talented when it comes to digital painting, you have no tablet, no ps/painter, or you lack the other basics, then there isn't much point in paying for bryce.

 

 

 

It was created as a landscape/scenery generation program, and thats what its good at, but even after the fully finished renders and modeling, the scene will still need a lot of painting over it before it will look complete.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its not too great for abstracts or any type of modeling (excluding architecture or terrain generation).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not worth the $59 IMO, unless you are truely skilled with digital paintings and want to go the extra step in your landscape art.

Well, I still use Bryce 5 (belive it or not) for abstracts. And i do fairly well. better than paying 1000's for 3dsm or so :)

you can make some pretty nice looking stuff in bryce,not sure if its worth 60 dollars though

what is 60 dollars these days.

 

 

 

If you want an easy begginer program to work with go for it.

Well if you are going for abstracts, its a good program because of all the boolean/metaball support (but past that, not many more options without making sphere/torus abstracts) but for realism modeling its pretty weak. In which case... a free program such as Blender 3D or Anim8or would be a much better choice. And since a lot of the free programs also offer boolean modeling, you can make some similar stuff even in those programs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, if you plan on getting heavily into architecture/landscape, feel free! Its a good investment for that. :)

Also if you want to do the Archetecture/landscape, check out Vue 4. it was like 50-60$ last time i checked. I bought it for that price and am very happy with it :)

ok thank you for your feedback

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i think i'll pass on bryce and 3d programs and just try to start to learn more about photoshop. (you can never learn enough photoshop!)

gg. :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yea.. its good, just difficult to get great results with. Abstracts shouldn't be too difficult though (just as easy as they would be in most other programs).

yeah, its not bad at all for abstracts. I actualy prefer using it over C4D and the likes, but thats because i'm used to it :lol:
