Bryce Character Animation, for Pete's Sake!
These two files were created by Cecilia Ziemer using Poser 4 and Bryce 4, proceeding in a manner a bit different than explained in her 3DA#32 article and its supplement for Poser 2 and Bryce 3.0 (with .br3 downloads of Pete 1 jumping). She describes this approach fully, and provides various do's and don'ts in 3DA#39.
___ These .br4 files are hereby placed in the public domain for use without restriction, but, if you use this work or a derivation for public display, please credit Cecilia Ziemer appropriately and provide a link to her home page at http://www.3dartist.com/ziemer.htm.
___ This figure uses spheres created and placed in Poser 4 (see wireframe) before export to Bryce 4, where the spheres serve to do the best job possible as joints. The "crash test dummy" outfit was used to help you see and understand how the figure is assembled, how it works, and where the problems are. A basic walk cycle done in 12 frames. "Basic" minimizes the download file size, and leaves lots of room for you to experiment with refinements and additions.

If you are doing serious animation work in Bryce, with or without characters, we'd like to hear about how you are managing rendering times. Contact the editors, but please do NOT attach images, Word .doc files, or other files.
