Course Description:Bryce Advanced - Sharren Graham

$25.00

This course will teach you more indepth 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 Advanced Course we will also be using a 2D program for postwork. 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.
