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

QuickTime Player needed to view these- get it here.

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! 


Red Genie

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.

Blue Matrix 2

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

*note* 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.

Scream Face

  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.
