Ever felt a bit frustrated at having to select lots of individual objects when trying to move or resize them altogether, and finding it tricky to select some of them (especially smaller objects)? Well Bryce has it's own solution - grouping objects. Check out this new tutorial for an easy way to manage your scenes!

DId you know...?
I've created a new page of quick snipptes of information on features of Bryce you may not be aware of, as some of them aren't immediately obvious. Did you know for example that you can change the wireframe resolution of objects in your scene which can help if Bryce slows down if your scene contains a lot of objects, or that you can create ready squashed or stretched primitives? Check out the page by the link below or in the main menu bar at the top of this page. More snippets will be added over time.

BRYCE 7 RELEASED!
It'll be a happy weekend for Brycers - after a long wait, and lots of nay sayers insisting Bryce was dead and buried, Bryce is alive and definately kicking with the release of Bryce 7. Fans will be pleased to see that the program is still being developed.
One of the big changes is that Bryce is now available in three versions : PLE which is a free, licenced for non-commercial use version , Bryce 7 which is the same as the PLE version except it's licenced for commercial use. Both contain some new features, and finally the Pro version, licenced for commercial use, which has even more. Here's a summary of them:
Bryce 7:
New features as listed above for Bryce PLE plus:
The Daz Studio Bridge has also been updated - now you can open Daz Studio first and export to Bryce (and export back again to Daz Studio) or open Bryce first, bridge to Studio and import from Studio, or just export from Bryce to Daz Studio. And closing either the Bryce or Daz Studio window will not result in the closing of the other. The two programs stand more independently from each other.
There is still some tweaking I feel to do with Bryce 7, but the progress made in terms of new features is fantastic, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it will go in the future. I hope to present some basic tutorials to introduce you to some of these new features soon, so watch this space!
If you want to get the Pro version or upgrade from Bryce 6, now's the time to do it as Daz has a sale on. Don't miss it!!!!
Check out the Daz site for more details, and if you are a member check out the forums - there are some great video tutorials there giving you an overview of some of the new features (you can also find these on You Tube). To download the free Bryce PLE version visit the Bryce software page
