About Real World Bryce 4
(widely advertised as Real World Bryce 3D)
Real World Bryce 2: The Art of the Digital Landscape,
an update of the Computer Press Award-winning The KPT Bryce
Book, is a completely rewritten book covering Bryce 2 for both the
Macintosh and Windows platforms. (read what others have said about the
first book here.)
It covers all of Bryce 2’s features in depth. The book features a comprehensive
explanation of the Deep Texture Editor. (MetaCreations’, um Corel’s DAZ 3D’s own software docs
for the DTE in Bryce 3D/Bryce 4 are based upon the work in my book.)
You’ll find explanations, tutorials, illustrations, why-it-doesn’t-work-that-way
discussion of Brycean anomalies.
On top of that, there’s a CD-ROM filled with resource scenes, software,
slide shows, animations, and a gallery of images from all over the world
featuring the work of over 80 Bryce artists!
Here’s a FAQ on the book (both books, actually)
that grew out of the email queries I received during the time I was writing
it.
