Making gold objects from greyscale bmp

in Bryce Discussion

Hi everyone,

New here, but hoping to find someone who'll make some things for me (in return for remuneration).  I don't have a lot of money, but willing to negotiate.   I've tried making the objects myself, as I used to be quite handy with Bryce years ago, but I've forgotten everything I ever knew - plus I used it mainly for terrain, and was never good with small objects and lighting.

I'm a sculptor/writer, working on a project in real life that will eventually be an exhibition.  I've designed 'ancient arterfacts' (I know, I know frown ) and need to have 'artist's impressions' of what the original objects would have looked like in gold.  I have drawings, which can be brought into the terrain editor - I've tried that and it works. But I have absolutely no finesse, so when I render it looks like a flat cardboard cut-out rather than a valuable piece of jewellery.  Sigh...

Anyone willing to give it a go?

    Hi agnesdavey64. Welcome to the forum.

    A good starting point is David Brinnen's videos on Youtube. There are loads of them on all different subjects related to Bryce from beginner to advanced.

    Hello and welcome to the forum, agnesdavey64.

    If you select the item you made, you can click on the 'M' for material and get a screen with options. Click the triangle next to the  thumbnail and choose 'metals'. Then choose 'Precious' and pick a nice gold option you like. This is the way to get to redefined materials.See pictures.

    Of course, folowing several of David's tutorials is always recommended!

    Good luck with your experiments!
