    resolved Can I use Bryce 4 in Flash?

    I just picked up Bryce 4 and have only recently begun playing around a little with it. Without even knowing what I'm doing yet, I was able to create a few cool looking scenes. What I need to know is if when I'm ready and decide I want to use a Bryce image in a Flash site, can it be done? It seems that when in Bryce you only have one choice of a file type to save your work. I forget right now what it was called. Is this compatible with Flash (can it be imported)? If not, what do I need to do? Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

    can it be done?

    probably yes.


    should it be done?

    probably not.

    bryce scenes, when rendered, are usually rendered as
    .bmp files for export (correct me if i'm wrong).
    .bmp files by their very nature are big files.

    one of the advantages of flash is that it is able to
    produce compact, fast playing animations with vector
    graphics.

    using bryce files for animation in flash will end in
    very large (and slow) .swf files.

    using bryce images as backgrounds or elements of design
    maybe worth a try.

    i don't want to say "never do this or that".

    i just want to say think about what you do, think about
    if you need it, if it's worth the trouble (the users/surfers
    trouble) and if it should be done just because it can be
    done.

    oh, i almost forgot the answer to your question ...

    the file type bryce produces for export should be .bmp
    open it in any image editing tool (photoshop should be
    the best choice) and save it as optimized .jpg or .gif file.
    flash can import .bmp and other image file types, but
    you save a lot of size using the .jpg or .gif format.

    hope this helped...

    Or, you could get Poser 4 and the new flash export plug-in which allows, poser animations to be exported in .swf format don't know the complete details yet, but I think you could then incorporate your bryce scenes in as backgrounds in the poser movie.

    dont really know ,but i think it will,poser and bryce are
    3d programs so i thimk it should work.the plug-in is expensive though,i did a test where i renderd each frame
    in poser saved it and made a movie clip in flash with
    every frame it does give a 3d effect but is hard work
    and takes alot of time
