Cruising the Canyon is a Bryce 3D guidebook filled with explanations on the fundamentals, useful functions, tips and tricks, and applications filled with the finest renders all made in-program. The guide was made to be a modern written documentation of Bryce 3D, making it useful not just for beginner but for all Bryce creators. Plus sections of the book cover useful programs, Bryce alternatives, and helpful tutorials. And best of all - it's free!

If you prefer a smaller file, here are alternatives. The Slim Edition cuts out unimportant images and merges pages, while the Survivalist Edition is only Section 2 - Functions, as well as part of Section 3 - Wisdom, and does not cover other parts of the book. I'd recommend getting either of these too if the above version does not run well in your browser, otherwise read it using the arrow keys and not scrolling. It can be a bit laggy on some systems/browsers but mainly web viewers are laggy.

If you'd like to share the pdf on your own website feel free to do so! I'd recommend either of the smaller editions since they're less storage intensive. Cruising the Canyon will remain on this site's index page if you'd like to link to the site instead.
Example Artists
Thank you to all of the artists who let me use their work as examples in the Applications section of Cruising the Canyon! All of their work is just as good as the renders of theirs present in the book, so go check them out and support them!
