Using Bryce on the Web
If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can access the Internet while using Bryce 5. You can communicate with other Bryce users, visit the Corel site, or view the latest technical support information.
Accessing the Web
Bryce now has a Links menu that will launch your default browser. You can update this list of links to add your own links and delete any default links you may not need.
In addition, you can export 2-D files to the Web using the Export Image or Render to Disk options on the File menu. You can export animations through the Render Animation feature.
To select a Web link:
Bryce communicates with your browser to access the desired link.
Modifying a Web Links Menu
You can modify your Web links menu using a text editor. It is a simple file that contains one line per link. Each line contains the name of the link, surrounded by quotes, a separating comma, and the URL in quotes.
To add or delete Web links:
1 Locate the Bryce 5 Links file in your Bryce folder.
2 Open the file in a text editor, such as WordPad, Notepad, or SimpleText.
Note that each line of the file contains the name of the link, in quotes, followed by the URL, also in quotes.
3 Delete the entire line for any links you want to remove from your list.
4 Enter the name of any new link, a comma, and any amount of space, followed by the URL of the new link in quotes.
5 If you want to add a dividing line to your menu, place an underline in quotes in both the link label and URL.
Your menu should now reflect your new links.
Create HTML Images
Use Bryce to get your images on the Web! Bryce will export an HTML page with your rendered image, along with any hotspot links associated with the objects in your scene.
With the HTML dialog, you can set your Web page title, the server directory for the page (either your local hard disk or the Web host), the name of the JPEG file for the image, your e-mail address, and the Background URL.
Also, in the dialog are two sliders-one for the level of JPEG compression, and the other for how precise you wish the hotspot polygons to be. Bryce will then generate the HTML page and the JPEG image file for you, ready to be brought straight onto the Web.
To create an HTML page:
1 Select the objects that will become hotspot links.
2 Click the A icon to display the Object Attributes dialog.
3 Click the Linking Tab, and enter an URL in the Web Link box.
4 Select File menu>Render To Disk.
5 Select HTML files (.htm) as the type of file to export/render to disk and name the file.
6 Fill in the settings in the HTML Export dialog.
Your image is exported in JPEG format.
QuickTime Movies
Bryce creates pre-flattened QuickTime movies that are ready to go wherever you wish to take them, be it the Internet or your friend's computer.
To create a QuickTime movie:
1 Create an animation in Bryce.
2 Select File menu>Render Animation.
3 Click the triangle icon beside Output module, and select QuickTime Movie.
4 Click Edit, and adjust the details of the animation.
5 Click Set, and choose the drive and folder where you want to save the file.
QuickTime VR Panorama Movies
Bryce can now generate QuickTime VR Panorama Movies directly. Panorama movies are movies in which you can interactively shift your viewing angle.
You can generate a QTVR movie from Export Image or Render To Disk. When you use Render To Disk, you can optionally select 90 degree counterclockwise rotation for QTVR, to save memory.
For information about generating QTVR movies, refer to "QuickTime VR".
