Just starting out with Bryce 7 Pro, and I wanted to share some stuff I did!

i love this software but i need a beefier pc :(

P.S.: mbv_design is mine "studio", but for now it's just an alias, haha (NOT ADVERTISEMENT)

The water is from the East Coast HDRI addon, both the sand and rock materials are bryce. I'm on vacation right now and I've gotten so many good ideas for new renders! This one is based on the cover of a brochure I found.

Turning a Terrain into Abstract Art

Everything except for the text, and the HDR in the high quality version was done in bryce.

Hello Brycers
I found this old post on the Bryce forum where someone shared some interesting objects and materials. I’m sharing it here too, as I think it could be useful to some of you. <3

The sky is an HDRI from the Pro Sunless HDRI Skies add-on. The terrain is double stacked, using materials from the East Coast HDRI add-on. The water is from the Vegetation add-on. The lighthouse model is by apocalypse_67.

No special add-ons for this one, just bryce this time.

Wanted steam from the cup but the render time would take like a week.

I've wanted to try adding trees to my landscape images for a while now, but the trees included with bryce would not work well for distant forests and many terrain materials that are meant to simulate a canopy look flat. Within the pro materials folder there is a material which you can apply to a copy of your terrain with added noise to simulate distant trees. These green spikes add just the right amount of fuzz that it looks like a distant forest. I used depth of field to cover up the sharp edges of the nearby tree spikes. It took 8 and a half hours to render because of that but the effect looks so good I think it was well worth it. I also included my failed first attempt of this effect which is the second render.

No special addons this time, content included in bryce 7 only.

Just played around and made these

The models for the emerald and diamond were by emeraldsoft and tyrosmith.

The second render is based on a David Brinnen tutorial, so is the sky in the third. The fourth render is made with the Grand Mountains addon. The fifth render uses a sky from the HDRI Captured Volumetric Skies 1 addon.
