Hi!
I'm having a problem... Bryce holds a good texture interface and I like what it can do. 3DMax suports AVI import where I can put an AVI as background or on an object.
I am attempting to edit a movie I've recorded with my new cam and it is 1164 frames. I made a nice saber in Bryce and I can't seem to replicate it in 3DMax. And so, I'm adding each frame one by one into the image library of Bryce and hoping that there is some Bryce5 plugin where I can import an AVI to the lib to put onto this object and add my effect infront of that.

So, I ask... Is there such a plugin? Or is there a quick program that can make Bryce5 image list files by selecting multipul files? Or is there an update to Bryce5 that I know nothing about yet?

You can make a saber in Bryce? How?

Sorry, can't help with your question.

Well, first you make a Cil, then a ball ontop of that, make them Positive, group. Then add the material: Diffusion and Ambient the same color and both on 100, then select Fuzzy and Additive in the little menu that is next to Texture Slot A.
Then make a smaller copy and give it the material: Diffusion and Ambient White and 100, then select Fuzzy (skipping Addative). Finally a radial light the same size as the inner cil and group the 2 groups and the light (making sure they are all Neutral).

OK... I think I got side tracked... HELP ME!

Read some basic tutorials on 3ds max...a textured lightsaber is not at all hard to do.

Byce is nice, as I can do modeling in wings and import it easier. Bryce is easier to work with and does automatic background scenery, but Bryce's procedural textures suck, though.
