Bryce 7.1 Pro Advanced - Curvature filtering fix for terrains - by David Brinnen.

Описание: Useful doc by Horo http://www.horo.ch/docs/mine/pdf/Bryc...

A Bryce 7.1 Pro tutorial aimed at people who are moderately well versed in Bryce and wish to expand their skills. New 7.1 Pro feature curvature filtering allows materials to respond "intelligently" to mesh geometry. This is a great feature. But it is not exactly easy to use and unless you have an extraordinarily high density mesh to work with, there can be a few issues to overcome. Different types of mesh require slightly different approaches, this tutorial covers one way of overcoming the limitations of curvature filtering for terrains. If you think about it, this method could be adapted to provide other kinds of filtering or occlusion or specular mapping. And it could also be adapted to capturing the surface of different types of object. Both topics I've penciled in for future videos.

Paint Shop Pro 8 is also used in this process - but in all likelihood any reasonably competent photo manipulation or paint package would suffice.

Some additional text is included in the video, you may have to pause the video to read it.

Better viewed in HD - some of the controls in Bryce are quite fiddly and small.
