Anyone have a working link to this? Picked up 7 Pro for $0.77 last week with the hope that I can create my own backdrops and scenery but I have absolutely no idea where to start. The link in the sticky thread goes nowhere.

Look at my website (see my sig below) and check Bryce & 3D CG Documents, also look at bryce-tutorials.info (link right at the end of the first page of my website).
Thanks
I'm not sure if all this is on the sites Horo suggested, but you can still get access to the Bryce 7 Artist Guide from the old Daz 3D Documentation Centre. I'm not sure whether this will be avaiable forever because Daz often removes old documentation, so grab it while you can!
ETA: Some of the links are dead, but the Bryce 7 Artist Guide is still accessible.
Ta, I have saved the pdf file. Plenty of reading to do....
And tutorials on YouTube + Thanx
Once you get familiar with the UI (user interface), here's a good place to start: Beginner Tutorials
An old timer checking in with an odd question.
I have used Bryce & Daz Studio for well over 20 years. I just have been missing from the site and forums for ages. Recently I got into 3D printing and started playing with Bryce again
as I am using it to create some simple 3D models (I am getting too old to get my head around some of the free 3D CAD programs out there.
I have 2 questions for the more active Bryce users that someone may have answers to. First and foremost, does anyone know if there is a way to determine the sizes in X,Y,Z attributes settings so I can convert the sizes to inches. It is not simple math. GROK and I spent several days trying to figure out the formula and it didn't work. In Bryce 103.2200 size when exported out as an OBJ file and imported to my Flashforge slicer program comes out as 2 Inches. So you would think 103.2200 x 2 would be 4 Inches. It is not.. It comes out as 16 Inches? Neither the GROK AI or I can figure this out... Any thoughts?
Also, back in the day there was a command that could be activated before Bryce which allowed Bryce to access higher memory. I don't know what I did with my copy, anyone know where I can access this.I think it was a simple batch command - I am running WIN 10 Pro if that makes a difference. Thanks folks. Bruce aka GoshTac
Goshtac - 1 B.U. (Bryce Unit) is what you decide. It can be a meter, an inch, a mile, a light light year, a micro-meter. If you want to create a physical object you have to find out by experimenting what works for you.
I still run Bryce 7.1 on Windows 2000, XP, 7 and 10 and 11. Bryce is a 32-bit program that can use up to 2 GB even if there is more memory. If your computer has at least 4 GB you can enable Bryce and many other 32-bit applications to use up to around 3.5 GB.
Get the free LAA (Large Address Aware) tool, copy it to wherever you want this 42 KB program and run it to make any 32-bit program you want large address aware. See picture below. (The website looks a bit different meanwhile but there is still the link for laa 2.04 (just checked).

Thanks a lot Horo. Good to hear from you again. It's been a long time since I talked with any of the old crew here. Appreciate the feed back. I had dug a little deeper and did find the LAA reference. Once I knew what I was looking for it was easy to find my old copy of the LAA exe of it on my system. Thanks again.Nice to see some of us old timers still above ground (I am now in my 70's) Take care.
Goshtac - thank you for your feedback. I thought you may have LAA already. Yes, certain things moved a bit back over time in our age but they are still there. Take care.
Bryce measures an object's size by it's Bounting Box. Not the size of its mesh (like other 3D programs do), try exporting at 129.025 BU and see how close to 4 in. that is in Flashforge
