Bryce
Books - Real World Bryce 4: Industrial-Strength 3D World Creation Techniques
(With CD-ROM).
Price: $50.54
Save: $4.45
Bryce, thanks mostly
to its unique user interface, always elicits a powerful reaction from
users--sometimes positive, sometimes negative, but rarely indifferent.
What can't be denied, though, is the amazing quality and variety of images
that Bryce can produce in the hands of an experienced user. The problem,
then, is acquiring that experience.
Real World Bryce 4 is a massive and insightful tome that manages to pierce
through that obscure and uncommon interface and reveal the power of the
underlying tool. Written by a pair of veteran Bryce users and seasoned
writers, this book is the source of that sought-after experience--a virtual
fountain of information from which to drink deeply.
Bryce 4 is a rich and varied program, with options and controls over just about everything, and the 17 chapters and nearly 1,000 pages of text reflect this. Starting with a brief history of 3-D graphics, and a history of Bryce, the authors take us step by step through the program, from interface basics through modeling, texturing, and rendering.
There is much more
to Bryce than meets the eye (if you can believe that). Chapter 5 is dedicated
to streamlining and optimizing the interface and the workflow, from display
controls to batch management to setting up your default scene. Complex
modeling using Booleans, multiple objects, terrains, and lattices is covered
in chapters 7 and 8.
