Customer Reviews

Good reference, not a beginner tutorial.

I see many people have put this book down. I have had to wonder if they were expecting a beginning guide or tutorial. I got exactly what I was expecting out of this book. That was a better understading of Bryce 4 and tips and tricks that I was unaware of.

Credit due

I've already submitted my first review on the book. I still think the book is excellent for the advanced beginner and the experienced. I needed to state that MetaCreations JUST updated Bryce 4.0 to 4.0.1. So, now I must update my RATING on this book to 5 stars.Thank you, R. Shamms Mortier, for the great book.

Excellent book, but not all is correct.

While I have found the book to be quite excellent (very impressive even at first skimming), my disappointment came with the Appendix. Here it claims that there is an update to Bryce 4.0 to 4.1. MetaCreations does not have an update to 4.1. I confirmed this with them. Other than that, I think that the advanced beginner and the more experienced will be able to get something out of the book (or at least off the CD-ROM--objects, textures, materials, etc.) Enjoy Brycers!
