A professional musician using Bryce...

Harley Van Kirk is a professional musician who was the vocalist for Surgical Steel and played with bands such as Judas Priest, Queensryche, and Iron Maiden in the 80's. He has been following along with the Bryce video tutorials to create a music video for one of his songs [see below]. He's been updating me on the progress as he works through the process. This is what he told me today:
"Hi Robert! I finished one of the short videos... came out OK. It was your tutorials that helped me! I got some radio interviews due to it. Some people stumbled upon it and contacted me about my music. Robert, your tutorials are worth a lot of money to people, if they just apply themselves. I still have just a few very small edits to do but it's pretty much done! It was your tutorials that helped me realize this in Bryce 3D... great and intuitive application!!!! I'm still looking for things to go along with this album theme... It would have to deal with "Myths and Legends" of our history in the world like "Lord of the Rings" or something like that. The album is theme based -- it's one of those things like Stonehenge and the pyramids etc. that are part of our world but we haven't really figured them out... heavy concept! Hence the dark ages look."
Harley is still working on videos for this project and expressed an interest in having help with models for them.  If anybody is interested in building models relating to myths and legends (i.e. Stonehenge kind of stuff) let me know and I can put you in contact with him.  It might be cool to have one of your own creations be in a music video.
