rgross saunters in. ChaMelEon: Try painting set backdrops mmurphy: ...mind you...my neck is DONE after a week at the computer putting together a 3D image. AuntiAlias: : ) Before we open things up for general Q & A, let's go back to the Bryce Box cover image... mmurphy: I'm sure we are all the same. sure AuntiAlias: Tell us about the mountain scene that became the image for the box cover. Were there things you had to do to change the scene so it fit specific print specifications? kmohamma wants to play too. mmurphy: Yes. I was given specifics as to how much sky Meta needed... I think 60% sky was required ( for the Bryce title)... also, because there was going to be type at the bottom of the box I had to make sure that there was a... bright area at the bottom -one third in from the left-so it can be readable. ...also, under the trees needed to be... soft and white. I had to go back in and find that exact area of that terrain and soften it. That was tricky. AuntiAlias: How did you do that? ChaMelEon: were you required to do it all in bryce? mmurphy: Trial and error, mostly. ...I had to airbrush kmohamma: did you do it all in bryce ? mmurphy: part of the terrain. Yes, it's all Bryce ChaMelEon: as opposed to photoshop AuntiAlias: so airbrush in the terrain editor, you mean? mmurphy: I had to smooth some cloud edges... kmohamma is off to render mirrored spheres. rgross: ? mmurphy: in Photoshop afterwards and give the treees some more needles (because it was going to be such high resolution). but it was , I guess, all done in Bryce. Yes, Aunti, airbrush in the terrain! AuntiAlias: : ) Let's open it up for specific Q & A (and many thanks all, for your patience watching during the first half! :D) Before we get underway, I've got an announcement: mmurphy: (almost missed that one!) Morpheus: ? Bryguy: ? AuntiAlias: Next week: Live From Bryce Camp Calyxa: woohoo! AuntiAlias: Two weeks: Newbies Night! People new in Bryce ask questions, experts answer!!

AuntiAlias: Queue: Morpheus, Bryguy, Reflash, Bryguy, Ringo, JeffP, Yojimbo, Steve L, 3D elf, and knog Morpheus: Okay, god, so many questions. I'll limit myself to just to a small and large one. 1: How long do you work on a bryce image for? 2:How did you do those clouds? BTW since I had some extra time I looked through your gallery and loved it!! oh sorry mmurphy: The size is exactly what you see on the box (12" high) and the res was 300dpi Suddenly Javert appears. rgross: thanks hybrid: ?

Javert: cool AuntiAlias: We're now in Q & A... if you ahve a question, please type ? and I'll add you to the ?uestion ?ueue ; ) mmurphy: Morp, I take longer than I used to because... MadMap: ? CyberCurt: ? Do you feel that you can keep your "creative edge" now that computers can render faster. Dally has more important business elsewhere. AuntiAlias: Queue: Bryguy, Reflash, Bryguy, Ringo, JeffP, Yojimbo, Steve L, 3D elf, and knog, cboswell, MadMap, CyberCurt Bryguy: morpheus got to my question first mmurphy: I have so many projects on the go I don't have the time i used to for Bryce. I want to make evey image count. So about 2 days to a week (sometimes two weeks.) Calyxa has left the building. Bryguy: nevermind mmurphy: I'm sorry, who's next? AuntiAlias: ? Reflash is next Reflash: when you said assemble it all together when creating a scene, is there a way to save individual objects then work on them in Photoshop, or whatever, then bring them back into Bryce for assembly into a scene and render ??? Yojimbo: ? hybrid: Do you mentally conceive your images or are they inspired by reality? Do you get creative block Morpheus: ummmmmmmmmmm I'm confused Bryguy is off to see the Wizard. Morpheus: oh well ? hybrid: oops Javert slinks out. rvanderlippe has joined the party! mmurphy: I make one object at a time using evey program I have. then "merge" the objects together at the end. Dreamweaver: ? Reflash: followup:how do you savbe individual objects? mmurphy: Is that what you asked? Reflash: save mmurphy: Save them in their own scene with no ground plane. Morpheus: Hey how come he gets his second question awnsered and I don't? AuntiAlias: (when you're done, Martin, say 'done', or if you asked the question and got the answer, say 'ok') Reflash: thanks mmurphy: done! Morpheus: K AuntiAlias: uh, Morpheus, I"m confused isn't a question.... Morpheus: sorry AuntiAlias: Ringo, you're on! Morpheus: now i had a second Q in my initial thing no not now can't type ERRRRRR mmurphy: Morh, the clouds were cloud spheres tweaked to death! I find that... Descendere has left the building. mmurphy: removing the specularity helps give them a softer look Ringo: Sorry next. mmurphy: done. trayser materializes from thin air.
