Well, I've been sitting here for the past hour, trying to figure out the
nicest way to say "no". I consider my brick model to be a proprietary
(and very new) art object that I'm not quite ready to part with. I may
publicly release the model at a later date, but until I finish
developing the model and feel that I have personally explored its
possibilities to the extent of my own modeling skills, I would prefer to
keep it to myself. Instead, I encourage you to make your own model in
Bryce; it's really not that hard. I used the brick dimensions Jim Hughes
posted in this message:

After that it was simply a matter of eyeballing a 2x4 brick and using
some negative objects to construct the booleans. I use a variety of
transparent materials, some of which are very similar to some of the
Glass material presets in Bryce 4. The sky and ground objects are set to
all-white, and I tweak the specularity and diffusion of the ground
object depending on the scene. For the black-background scenes, I add
some light objects above (and below as well for an upcoming scene yet to
be released) the brick model. It's really nothing that complicated.
I'm cross-posting this to lugnet.cad.ray for obvious reasons, and if
someone feels like arguing about intellectual property rights, one of
you compartmentalized dorks can drag it over to off-topic.debate ;)
