Welcome to the Real World Bryce 2 CD-ROM! You should find a wealth of goodies here to enhance your Bryce experience. Chapter Info has the tutorial scenes for the book, plus lots of the scene files for the printed figures, and auxilary scenes and slide shows as well. Gallery contains the Bryce work of over 80 Bryce artists world wide. Portfolio contains my images and some scenes as well. Be sure to check out the "Slide Show" slide show! **NOTE about the scenes in the Gallery and Portfolio folders. Open them up, take a peek, learn from the artist about the Bryce construction methods. . . even create a materials preset. But the scenes as a whole and the image belongs to the person who created it. Do not use the scene as a whole. Please respect the generous persons who made scene files available for the learning benefit of Brycers everywhere! Thanks! Tips contains various tips about Bryce or relating to Bryce written by different contributors. They are in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format. (An Acrobat Reader installer is included elsewhere on the CD-ROM.) Models contains some 3D DXF models from other sources. Check 'em out! Goodies contains some image resources. From MetaTools, there is a sampling of the MetaPhotos collection by MetaTools. From Direct Imagination, there is an Adobe Acrobat demo of The Grammar of Ornament, an excellent resource for decoration and patterns collected from history. DEM Info has some sample Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and tips for finding more of them and using them.

In addition to all the things here, visit my web site at http://www.auntialias.com/ I have a launching pad page that takes you to other places on the Web for Bryce-related matters.
