I just realized what Bryce could actually do, and I am working on some abstarct stuff. Here was my first render:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think it's pretty cool for a first try. Once I start working with it some more I will probably make free abstract sigs for people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are good with Bryce please point me towards some tutorials. Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments, C/C, Flame

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this turned out pretty cool

 

 

 

It looks nice, but some of the materials (the gray one, to be specific) look plain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And unfortunately, it looks like a bunch of tori on a black background. *sigh*

 

 

 

There is much more to bryce abstracts than this. Try using metaballs and a lot of booleans to get more original abstracts, avoiding these primitive shapes!

Yea I know it is very basic. Thanks for the C/C. I am doing another one right now, it is turing out pretty cool I think.

very spiffy :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

kudos to you

It's too dark, it has no focal point and it's pointless overall with no thought into the piece whatsoever.

First impression: Impressive detail on 3D.

 

 

 

Second glance: Not much detail, or purpose for it. Now, if you were creating a wallpaper, you could add more coloured flare effects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In my personal opinion, it's just...too flat.

Slowly working on some stuff. Thanks for the comments everyone. Here is number two

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if anyone wants a sig from the first render, let me know. And rate the second one :)

:) I think your first try is not bad...Considering it's your first, it's cool looking...I am a great fan of the glass textures, so I like your second try...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmm..Some links for tutorials...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is one that I used myself for a piece at deviantART:

Have fun! I love working with Bryce myself, whether it's abstracts or other things!

'Couple of those are the same, Turtle..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yeah, Bryce is great for random masses of reflection.. You should mess around and see if you can't do something innovative and cool, though..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not that what you have isn't cool-looking, it's just.. it's been done. :)

I clicked on all 3 links..All different tutorials...Two are from deviantART, but they're different ones...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He's just starting on his Bryce abstract stuff...so it's cool for him to try things that have already been done, because it'll help him get to where he can zip through the program with more finesse and then try more unique things when he feels confident about it.

Thanks for some nice links. Trying to slowly learn the program.

Looking good :). Turtle posted some good links so just use those to get you started and then start experimenting :).

This may be a stupid question, but i can't the tuts at deviant. When I go to the links I just see abstracts, and comments. Not the actual tutorial. Thanks

how did u make the first one?

 

 

 

how did you get those shapes???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i had bryce for like a year now and i still dont get how to use it

 

 

 

but i know how to do the second one lol

I still can't figure out the diviant tut's, can anyone help?

Under the picture there should be a button that says "download". Just click that and you download the tutorial.

:D Well, you can disregard the second deviantART link... Haha...Wyrm is right...it's the same as the 3rd tut...I had that last one in my favorites...and I just rushed to grab one from deviantART without looking to see what it was...I didn't use either version of that tutorial...Sorry about that...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I forgot about the fact that you have to click the "download to desktop" option to get the tuts at deviantart...I would have said something...sorry about THAT too. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll post some more links here for you...Hopefully these won't be duplicates!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

http://forums.gfxvoid.com/t-7827.htm That's one that does the ribbonlike effect...Kind of cool. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.deviantart.com/view/18684407/ Another deviantART one, but no download...it's all on the page. It shows the mirror effect abstract...

I want to throw in this last link...it's some very useful tips and tricks of Bryce that might help you out in general with the program. :)
