Course Description: Bryce for Beginners - Sharren Graham

$25.00

This course will teach you techniques of using Bryce to create complete scenes, which includes camera placement, lighting positions and exporting props to use in the scene.

We will also be looking into the Labs & Editors and how we can use them in our creations. In the Beginner's Course all work will be done in Bryce only.

One of the most intriguing things I have found with all art forms is that one never stops learning, and the most beautiful and satisfying thing is that it alllows expressions of ourselves.

Note!!! This course is graphics intensive.

Prerequisites:
Software: Bryce 7
Operating System: Windows versions only. (Windows Vista compatibility has not been tested and can not be supported at this time).

Skill Level: Beginners.
You must have a good working knowledge of your computer and operating system. VAA does offer some guidance in preparing for your class here under General Tutorials for Windows.

*NOTE!!! *** This course will not have complex scenes where rendering time becomes an issue.
