Bryce #03: Build a City in 5 Minutes

One of my favorite quick-tips is building a city in Bryce using a mountain. I spent months trying to use blocks and cylinders to build a simple city that my spaceship could fly around, but nothing seemed to work and it took FOREVER to render. This not only renders fast, but it takes 5 minutes to put together.

and is there a preferred format to save the picture as

[freetutorials]

I suggest BMP for this -- probably 512x512.

if you dont have photoshop can you use paint

[freetutorials]

Yes -- any painting program should work.

good video but that clicking is fucking annoying, what is it?

[freetutorials]

LOL - sorry. As I stated in earlier comments, it was the default in Camtasia. I didn't realize you could toggle it off until a few videos were already done.

good vid but the clicking noise annoyed me so much

Yesh, GIMP is fantastic free software similar to Photoshop.

hey nice video. it is hard to make a city in bryce and even harder to make one as complex as the one seen in the video. but one thing that you could say is if the city would be good to animate with. i plan on make a free running video using bryce and was looking on how to make a city. don't get me wrong it does look like a city but on as a picture and not as a animation. but keep up the videos they do help out the people who want to learn :D

@dayday8421 agreed, I have gimp on this computer I am using right now. because I do not want to buy another copy of photoshop for my old computer. I love gimp, but still photoshop is amazing, I have CS4. I love it.

[dayday8421]

@dogspwnu I think the fact that GIMP is free would allow most normal people to understand that although I said they are similar, Photoshop is a far superior product! For a free alternative, GIMP is about the best image manipulation software there is IMO.
