The Interface

Okay, so you've purchased Bryce and installed it. Let's take an overview of the user interface. I would suggest as you work through the tutorials that you have Bryce open, so you can switch to it and try out the controls - learning is always helped by doing:)

So, when you open Bryce this is what you will see on your screen:

You have a nice large viewport which at the moment only contains the default ground plane and default sun and sky settings. The File menu is at the top left (File, Edit, Objects, Links, Help) and there are various controls on all sides of the viewport. We're going to take an  look at these in these tutorials.  The ones you need to focus on to get started are the camera and render controls, and the edit, create and sky palettes.

•  On the interface you will see a number of little triangles, either pointing down or to the right. Clicking on this brings up further options or libraries relating to the control it is next to.

• To select objects and controls in Bryce click your left mouse button. Some controls  require you to continue to hold down the  button as you move the mouse to activate the control or make a further selection. We'll come across this in the tutorials as we go along.
