Where can Bryce content be installed?

Where can Bryce content be installed?  Does it have to be in the Program Files directory of Windows?  if so why?

Horo

Miss Bad Wolf - some Bryce Content can be installed where you later find it, even on a memory stick. There are a few items that need to be in a very specific folder under the Bryce main folder. You find all relevant information in this PDF document. https://horo.ch/docs/mine/pdf/BryceContent_v4.pdf

I have none of my Bryce content installed in the Program files directory of Windows 7.   Bryce and all it's content are not even installed on my C drive.

Horo's great guide covers your question in depth and I often refer back to it when I forget what *needs* to go where.

That said, the so-called 'big idea' goes (roughly):

 

- The Bryce *program* folder (with the main Bryce program (exe) and supporting program elements) can be located as a folder/collection anywhere you choose (as per Chohole's comment).

- Certain kinds of Bryce *content* must be in/under that same program installation folder.

- Other Bryce *content* can be located anywhere you choose (and can 'browse' to).

 

again, Horo's pdf file covers the various details in wonderful depth and clarity.

Good luck!,

Mage 13X13

Let's say I want to install my .obp files from Bryce 5, 5.5, and 6 into my Bryce 7 Create Library. Do I extract the files and then drag and drop them into the proper folder? I have several packages made for the earlier versions of Bryce, and I wish to use them in Bryce 7.1 Pro.

Mage 13X13 - you can select all in a particular library, export them and import them in the other Bryce version. You can also just copy the obp files into the new location.
