Bryce Free Model Archive (and DAZ 3d Store Upgrade)

If you are a Bryce (or DAZ Studio user) but don't frequent the DAZ3d.com forums you may not be aware that the store is being upgraded next week (Wed 16th May). This will mean a few changes, such as the Platinum Club voucher usage, no user forum galleries, and no more Fast Grab offers. Installers will be provided in .zip files and a new gallery system will follow at some point. There'll also be new features in the store such as product comparisons.  For all the details, visit the official DAZ 3d forum  thread here and some screenshots and more info about the store have been posted here.

Before the upgrade next week it's worth popping across to free.daz3d.com , which is a section of the current site offering a nice range of free items. There's a general free model archive (models could be used in Poser, or DAZ Studio, and also imported from DAZ Studio to Bryce using the DS Bridge), and a Bryce free archive, both offering a really nice range of models. I used this a lot when I first started out in DAZ Studio, it's a great resource, but you need to act fast as this won't be maintained after the upgrade. Here are the links:

Free $5 voucher from DAZ 3d!

As part of their special promotion offering Bryce DAZ Studio and Hexagon for free DAZ 3d are giving away $5 vouchers to spend at their store, so you can grab some content for your new/upgraded software! The announcement with the code is in the forums, but please note the code given in the original post doesn't work, a replacement code is given on this page of the thread by DAZ_BHowell:

 If you are a platinum  club member there is a sale of Gothic themed products on too, and vouchers can be used on many items. There are some great bargins to be had!

STARTING OUT IN BRYCE? NEED SOME HELP?

If you are starting out in Bryce or just looking for some tutorials to get a better handle on it check out my site Bryce Basics (written for Bryce 6 - I'll post new tutorials on Bryce 7 when it's officially released). It's aimed at the newer user and has plenty of screenshots to help illustrate what and where things are. Tutorials include an introduction to all the palettes, the material and sky labs, and there's also a tutorial on how to use Bryce with Daz Studio

NEW GLASS MATERIALS FOR BRYCE
