Bryce is a nice instrument to make animations. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make a simple animation from scratch. starting with moving a sphere from point A to B, then from point A to B over point C, adding a jump to it, making an object turn around it’s on axes and more. I assume you have some knowledge of Bryce, this is not a complete beginners tutorial. Given that fact beginners can do this tutorial, I explain from start to finish, but they'll have to go steps back every now and then. Bryce can be downloaded for free as a Personal Learning Edition (no limitations or watermarks): - Bryce for Windows - Bryce for Mac I explained the basics of Bryce in this tutorial: Absolute Beginners Guide to Bryce, if you are new to Bryce you might want to check that tutorial first.

We know this effect from glamour photos and music clips, the ring of lights in the eyes. The original ring lights are expensive and not affordable for us normal mortals, so this is a way to create the same effect for little money. This is what I used in this tutorial: 1. a piece of think card board, we all have something laying around so that's for free. 2. a scissor. 3. a hobby knife. 4. we need some small lights, LEDs are perfect for this. They give a nice bright white colour. I used a "Happy Birthday" chain with LED lights in them, you can pick them up at your local gift store for about $5.00 USD probably even cheaper, but first search your house: I had one laying around. 5. a pen. 6. small plate. I made this ring light in 45 minutes (including the photo's for this tutorial).

In this tutorial I'm going to play around with water in Bryce 3D and show you how you can make custom water shapes on a flat surface. Don't get intimidated by the number of steps. Everything is explained in detail and sometimes you will do 5 steps in 2 minutes or less. This tutorial is intended for 2 types of Bryce users: 1. the absolute beginners, everything is explained in text and shown with images. 2. the more advanced users who want to learn how to model water with Bryce. Yes there are more advanced 3D programs out there but Bryce has got several advantages: 1. for beginners it is easy to use, the learning curve isn't to high. It might be a step for them to more advanced programs. 2. there is a free, 100% working version to download here: for Windows users, and for Apple users. Besides that, there's free content. This tutorial has been made with the free version and presets mentioned above, if you do not own this program yet download and install both. To create the basic shape of the water, you're gonna need a program like Photoshop or similar.

The easy way to mask a tree. As a bonus, we'll also add a new background. This is really easy, but hardly anyone knows how to do this quick. I'll let you in on a Photoshop secret ;)
