Animations
& Quicktime 360 Panoramas
To view these, you'll need the free
QuickTime Player.

This page contains
a few QuickTime Animations and Panoramas I've done with Bryce- they're nothing major,
just some little things I've animated. They will open in a new
window when you click on the link. The most recent ones are
at the top. You'll need the free Apple QuickTime 4 or better player to view them. Enjoy!

You can
step inside one of my volumetric images with this 360 degree
panorama.

Regroup
Another volumetric space, so you're
standing in the middle of a volumetric object. If you have
the bandwidth, check out the larger version, it's got a lot
of details that are fun to check out.

Blue Matrix
A
volumetric space, you're inside a sphere with a crazy
crackled mirrored surface, seeing reflections inside of
reflections inside of reflections as you travel
forward.
*note*
This
animation is a bit large, around 9 megs in file size.

Matrix 2
A volumetric space to
explore, you're traveling forward, inside a sphere, with a wild reflective
material coating everything in sight.

This
animation is a bit large, around 9 megs in file size.

Dust Mote
World
This is a
fly- out of something that reminded me of a speck of dust.
You start out at the core, then you fly out of it as you're
facing reverse, until you can see the entire world. (Make
your own favorite sound effects while watching this one.)

Andes Panorama
A 360 degree
panorama of a mountain with the moon looming over the horizon.
Cheesy, but hey- I don't do landscapes, mmkay?

Iraq Fly Out
Seeing the animations
the networks are doing, zooming in and around satellite
images of Iraq, I wanted to try to reproduce this effect myself.
They're not perfect, but I think they came out pretty cool.
There's three here, each one a little different.

Tribute
After seeing the movie created entirely using Bryce, Infinity's
Child, I wanted to
try to duplicate the mood of a scene, as a small tribute to the
work done by the late Rodney L'Ongnion. This is the result;
300 frames rendered for over two months, day and night, non stop,
on a 1.3 gigahertz machine. Was it worth it? I'd have to say yes-
this is pure untouched Bryce 5, no post render work other than
compiling the frames, adding the watermark, and compressing it for
the web.

Bryce
5 Mystery Animation
Back when we were Beta testing Bryce 5, we
reached a point where it was allowable to post images and
animations created in Bryce 5, but we weren't able to TALK
about it, or say anything about the images. So, to show
Bryce users that it had a new goodie called METABALLS, I
created this animation to show that they attract and repel
each other. So, here's a little something
fun I cooked up to test some new goodies, and this was created
using pure, 100% native Bryce 5 goodies.... draw your own
conclusions. :)

Black
hole VS. The Dancing Internet baby.
This is what happens when
the Dancing Internet Baby gets too close to a wormhole. The
wormhole
animation was rendered in Bryce, and the hotfooted baby was animated
and composited, with the black hole animation as the background, inside Poser. It's silly, but I laugh like an idiot
every time I watch this goofy thing.

Screaming
Wall
This was a conceptual piece I tinkered
with a while ago. I took a series of still images of myself with
my trusty little webcam, then frame by frame, used them to create
a terrain height field and animated the whole thing. There's two
faces in this one that are animated- the one on the left is with
the face poking outward, the one on the right is reversed, with the
face pressed back into the surface. You'll see what I mean when
you view it. Tedious work, to say the least, and this made for one
massive scene file. And yeah, I know, I was having a very bad hair
day when I recorded these frames. Deal.

Mountain Fly-by
This is one of my all time favorite scenes that I've created over
the years, so here's a fly- by animation of a mountain
range, as if you were traveling by airplane.

Cave
Traveler
An underwater scene, not
intended to be realistic. Follows a small diving craft into a
cave. Created as a test render for materials and settings more
than anything else. Yeah, I know, it has a glitch where a wing on
the right goes through the rock. I was just playing.

Fire Traveler
A fun adventure inside
volumetric flames, with some refractive spheres tossed in for good
measure.

Ring Star 1
A cool animated series of
rings. This object started life as a 3D mesh of a Poser Guy. There's a
tutorial on how this was done, listed at this site under Bryce Tutorials.

Man
Star 4
This started life as a
3D mesh of a Poser Guy, which was replicated and turned into a funky star shape- all the
parts were converted into the torus shape, then I modified the
shape and location over time. You can learn more about this concept by visiting
my Bryce Tutorials page on this web site.
