My most sincere apologies…
Ive always liked the render quality of images and scenes where everything, the scene components, lighting, reflections and atmosphere all interact w/ one another. Im just not 1 for the layered look and feel of a 3D scene. I dont mind the time (or didnt until “recent”), but it didnt “seem” to take as long w/ 3x’s as many lights and shadows in earlier versions of Bryce (I guess im pointing the finger at Daz3d =B). I could render a GI Dome scene in Bryce 4 in about 5 days, thinking that that was crushing me…… Admittedly, this week-on-week render stuff is new. To me at least………………
Of all the 3d Programs Ive used, Bryce is by far the absolute slowest at rendering. I can do GI, HDRI and even Light Domes in Carrara in the smallest fraction of time, and rendering in programs like 3D Studio Max is undoubtedly much faster…
However, I strongly believe it is the artists “responsibility” to take FULL advantage of the lighting and effects that any program has to offer. I cant imagine “avoiding” features, tools or effects that a program has. I enjoy the render quality of a good light set up in Bryce, takes time, but worth the effort…
Off the top of my head, some artists that take advantage of Bryces lighting and produce AWESOME results:
