Leslie Judge Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 There are threads about this in the Mapping/Levels section. I don't have any direct link though so better if you search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clu Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 That's funny I was just trying to do a skybox with Bryce yesterday. I'll warn you that all was well until I tried to do a render of the "up" portion. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but when I pointed my camera directly 90 degrees to the sky, the sky itself would not render. Post back if you find any good tutorials and I will do the same. I found loads of tutorials using "terragen", and you can probably apply the concepts to Bryce (except for that one pesky problem above). Here's one at 007's site: http://mapping.jediknightii.net/tutorials.htm -clu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Judge Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Actually I made a skybox in Bryce. Very tricky can be to set the camera properly. But clu, funny thing, that if you set 90 for pitch (X or Z) it means downwards. The negative values will turn the camera upwards. And it is not enough if you set the camera FOV to 90°. For a 512x512 skybox you need to set the Scale to 72%. But for a 1024x1024 you have to set it to 72.70%, maybe more finer setting is needed.

clu Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 if you set 90 for pitch (X or Z) it means downwards. The negative values will turn the camera upwards Yep, it must have been -90 (it was pointing up in the view window) but I just got kind of a saturated blue when I rendered. Your zoom comment explains that perfectly. I'm going to try your advice and see what occurs, thanks Leslie. yeah i remember when i used to use it a lot it was a bit of a pain in the AXX I agree. The ironic thing about Bryce is that it is sort of meant for novices but it's got to have the most un-intuitive interface I've ever seen (pretty rendered balls and arrows...give me some text!!!). -clu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
