Bryce 5 software for free

Available until September 6, 2006....

Published on August 22, 2006 By Corky_O In WinCustomize News

For those of you who want to play around with the 3D scene rendering program known as "Bryce", it is available for a short time as a free download from Download.com. Use the link below.

I recommend this for anyone who wants to see what the 3D rendering softwares are like. It is a very fun program to play around with.

Note - there is quite a bit of information and tutorials available for this version at the DAZ site WWW Link

DAZ has also indicated that the new Bryce 6 will only be available to owners of Bryce 5 and 5.5, so this would seem to be a great opportunity for those interested.

Have fun!

I'm a sucker for anything free. After checking out the DAZ site I got the feeling that this is like a drug dealer offering someone their first taste of the product. I never knew this stuff even existed. At least now I know where many of the wallpapers I see come from.

The biggest surprise/shock was when I started browsing the other products and came across the "dolls". Is that the right word? It's like a mixture of Barbie for adults, the classic you'll-never-be-alone-again blow up dolls, fastasy roll playing and who knows what else. Faces, bodies, hair styles, clothing, positions, and so much more. You could spend a fortune on all the different packages. Maybe even end up in the back room at the police station if you over do it.

While im not a big fan of bryce - I do like to play with anything free. So thanks Corky for the link up. Now- it took me 1h 45 m to download the zip. After unzipping - it said " you must be online to register" So I go back online. Open application agan- pop up box asked for registration number that they supplied. Type in email addy and registration number. Pop up box says: wrong number ( straight face here ) but you gave me the number , im looking at it now. I hit the little check mark again - wrong number - again wrong number - again wrong number. After 5 times im whisked away to a page asking me to log in to my account. OR if you do not have a DAZ account - make one. So I did. Then I waited for the email reply. I followed the directions and pasted the confirmation addy in my browser - once there I pasted the confirmation # they supplied.
I go back to DAZ site - i log in with my new shiny account....boom..im in...Welcome karen ..... here's your product seriel number ( write it down ) ok that wasnt so bad.

I go back to the bryce icon - click ....pop up box asking me for my name and the registration number again. ( straight face smiley ) ok, we just did that..ok we'll just go there again. I log in with account number and password. Welcome Karen....

Bryce splash screen is frozen with this box telling me I have the wrong registration number ( mind you - its the same number they keep giving me )

We do this 6 or 10 more times. Ok, Im close to tears or killing anyone in sight now.
Im talking to the pop up box " Ive done everything you asked - why are you toying with my emotions ?"

I go offline - I reboot. I try again.....application tried logging me back online but FF craps out. This time I put in my name and the 50 digit serial number they gave me at the site. A " new ' pop up box telling me that registration will not be complete until I go to site and download the " free " content that im entitled to.....

I JUST WANT TO SEE THE PROGRAM FIRST ..whimpering , i ask " is that too much to ask ?
Honest - I might even buy something - just let me see the program.
And like magic the splash screen changed and there it was......a strange , unfamilar looking program with things ive never heard of. things Ive never seen. Ok , this cant be that hard..i'll come back later...now wheres the " OFF " button to close it down..

I spent 15 minutes looking for the OFF/CLOSE button.

CTRL/ALT/DELETE is an odd way to shut down a program but what the heck it works.

This is not going to be a " walk in the park "

Fairyy,

I should mention that the 'Titlebar' for Bryce is an "auto-hide" titlebar, which you can display by bumping the top edge of the screen with your cursor (it took me a couple of times to open and close the program using the taskbar button context menu before I accidentally bumped the top of my screen, and there it was; complete with the familiar menus and titlebar buttons).

For anyone else on dial-up, it is approximately 23.5 MB download (sorry, I paid about $100 for this version back when Corel had released it to DAZ, so I did not know there would be issues simply trying to install the thing).

I can say, after using the program for a couple of years, that it is a fun program to create scenes with. It is also a very helpful program to learn to work with 3D mesh objects, as well as apply textures and materials to said objects. I can't afford the better 3D programs, so this is the best value to me - especially now that it is free.

Note - I have not had any spyware / malware issues over the past 2 years downloading any material from DAZ site, so I do not hesitate to recommend them to people interested.

I also wanted to add on the Daz website there is a special to get the 5.5 upgrade for only $20.

Im just glad I finally got it installed. As for the issues - Im sure most of it was me being unfamilar with installing free stuff. They were a bit unclear as what they wanted so I wrote that misadventure just in case anyone else had the same problem. It could of been me was the problem - but I thankyou for giving me something to play with. And thanks for the info on the hidden tool bar. I think by then I was just worn out typing in my name so many times I just wasnt thinking anymore.
