Keyframe Animation
This tutorial gives a basic introduction to keyframe animation in Bryce. The tutorial is compatible with Bryce 4 and 5 but may work with earlier versions although I haven't tested this.
If you are new to animation or if you are a Bryce novice, I suggest you work through the tutorial from start to finish. Use the examples given in order to gain a good understanding of the concepts before embarking on your own project. If you are a more experienced user, you may just want to look at the FastTrack section below and then have a go on your own. You can always refer to specific steps in the main tutorial if you get stuck. The tutorial should be easy to follow but it is quite long and you should give yourself enough time to get through it at your own pace. Don't rush it...GO

Animating Ocean Waves
Start with a new scene file in Bryce. Go to the File menu and select Animation Setup. Create an animation 8 seconds long at 15 frames per second. Create a terrain and click on the [A] icon to enter the Object Attributes box. For the Size coordinates, enter values of X=1000, Y=25, Z=1000. You can adjust the height of the terrain to range from large stormy waves to low peaceful waves. Leave the Attributes box and click on the [E] icon to enter the Terrain Editor...GO
