(November 30th '99) Another Grandmaster of the Terrain Editor: Chris Casady a.k.a. Tile Nut wins the award for his grounbreaking ideas for modelling with Terrains. He made a trout which could probably wiggle it's tail in an animation!(November 30th '99) A Work in Progress: Generic Human, an ambitious project, building a fully animatable figure entirely within Bryce. A link will be supplied when it suits Generic Human's creator. (August 18th '99) Carlitos wins the Award for his unusual texturing of Poser figures, especially the "hair".

Yet another Terrain Editor Wizard: Horácio Tomé Marques has found a new way to make terrain maps. (July 18th '99) All three artists above take a different approach to using or making terrains. This makes one wonder what gems there are hidden inside the program, waiting to be discovered and brought to light by inquisitive minds. Maybe the idea was bubbling under for a while... but this picture by Fairweather gave me the push I needed to create the Groundbreaker Award. (July 11th '99) Unfortunately you cannot see what's inside (yet)...
