4.0 out of 5 starsIndespensible to learning Bryce, but could be improved upon.
By A Customer on July 10, 1999
Format: Paperback
We purchased this book out of desperation, as we had a project demanding instant "alien" backgrounds. As the program's documentation was so incomplete and erroneous as to be virtually worthless, we eagerly ordered Ms. Kitchens' book after reading rave reviews. And, it is almost everything expected. While Bryce can be "played" with to achieve spectacular results with no documentation at all, this book has allowed us to use the program in depth, which is required by our commercial graphics demands. Unfortunately, it is not perfect, and these flaws make me wish Ms. Kitchens would find a better publisher for her work. First of all, the promised CD for the Windows platform is not included, but must be ordered by means of an included postcard, with a promised "3-4 week delivery time". We feel this is deceptive, and only refrained from returning the book due to our pressing needs. Secondly, after getting through a somewhat fuzzy-headed and arrogant foreward, we found that the (numerous) excellent illustrations were poorly placed in reference to the text, resulting in constant page turning. For a technical manual, it is incumbent on the publisher to better coordinate the placement of text and illustrations. I'd say this publisher needs to show the same concern and dedication in their efforts as Susan Kitchens has shown in hers.

5.0 out of 5 starsBuy it to take your Bryce work to the next level and beyond
By unleaded@rea-alp.com on September 19, 1998
Format: Paperback
This book is the 'definitive manual' of Bryce. Susan Kitchens is absolutely fanatical in her assault on the hidden and deep features of Bryce 2. She will show you things that may have taken you years (if not forever) to figure out on your own. If you wanna go deep, and I mean DEEP into Bryce 2, this is for you. Bryce artists are making a living producing 3D images right now. This book can help you to reach the professional level of 'Bryce Master' in a shorter time than you thought possible. So, if you're tired of doing the same old scenes, now you have a mentor to guide you. After all, experimentation is fine, but life is too short to keep reinventing the wheel.

5.0 out of 5 starsEssential book for anyone starting with Bryce
By Jack Gerber <jack@netaxs.com> on March 14, 1999
Format: Paperback
Although this is about Bryce 2, the book is essential for Bryce 3D also. It is one of the best books on any computer software I have ever seen. It is particularly good for beginners since it covers the basics you need to know before you can accomplish much with the program. It explains the underlying concepts in a way that turns you quickly into an expert.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is THE only book you'll need with Bryce 2
By coson@maxwell.com on June 23, 1998
Format: Paperback
This book is absolutely incredible. After going through the manual, this Bryce 2 neophyte was not actually comfortable with his knowledge. But no sooner did I pick up this book and start reading, did things just start making sense to me. There's so many cool things you can do with this program, that this book is a MUST to have. It's clear explanations have really enhanced my knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat examples, awesome artwork
By Angel Lee HALL OF FAME on May 1, 2000
Format: Paperback
If you've ever wanted to really understand Bryce and how it works, this is the book for you. It really helped me streamline the process of making cool worlds in Bryce. The color examples & awesome artwork are a nice bonus.
Every feature in covered in great detail, far beyond the scope of the original Bryce manual. The author presents advanced features, showing how to make undersea worlds, rivers, & waterfalls using Bryce & Photoshop.
She devotes over 100 pages to working with texture. Other chapters cover working with other software, rendering and realistic nature imagery. There is even a chapter on making alien world scenes.
The CD also has some great examples including rendering tests & tutorial Bryce files to play with. There are also 100's of spectacular images of different worlds created by over 80 different artists.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Superb Discussion
By A Customer on February 18, 1998
Format: Paperback
This book is a wonderful companion to a novice like me! The many insights are simply inspiring! The CD-ROM have lots of scenes from over 80 artists that speak volume. Just like the Beatles, for example, when they are producing on those primitives 4-track machine...they don't know that ahead in the future will be 24-100tracks console. They just produce with what they have and have great results.
The author even prelude each chapter with stories like Alice in Wonderland! To me Bryce2 is a more philosophy than anything. Here you can create with manipulation of controls but whether the rendered scene speaks the truth is another thing. I don't want to sound to be glorifying this book or the author...but the book has both a soft and hard aspect that I find attractive.
