    I am rather new with bryce, this is my second city scene, a wip. I am still working with the atmosphere and lighting. Hoping I will get a better "feel" for the material controls eventually :-)

    Impressive! Nice work with the sky too (other than for some curious banding/compression - maybe look at how your image was saved - don't save it as a jpg for example).

    I've continued to fiddle with hyper-textures. And brought in a Vicky from DS for testing.

    nreed: great job and welcome... anyone here will help you if you have any questions

    David: I like what you are doing with the textures....but she does look really evil now...I was never afraid of her before but.... I am now

    @Dave - truck looks great, good colour choices.

    @GussNemo - you've mastered Hex already, very nice vases. The last one looks like semi-transparent thin hard plastic. Interesting effect.

    @nreed - very good start. Keep it up.

    @David - Vicky in the disco.

    @Trish - sent you a PM. - Redundant remark, you've already answered.

    Back to here after making something for the 'Frozen' theme. By the way: never type 'Frozen' in your Google images, because all you get is Disney.

    Anyway, let me react to some of the previous renders:

    @GussNemo. Nice first fountain. Second fountain is very nice indeed! Hexagon can be used to make nice things indeed. I see you will make some kind of 'fountain park' render! I think in the render of 26 December your view is a bit strange. The perspective of the column doesn't look nice to me.

    @dana365. Love your dancing driftwood. I tend to make renders too complicated, I always think after seeing something as simple and effective as this.

    @user.operator: Why is Santa sitting in the dark? And where is the other furniture? Did he give it away as presents; that must be it! Your set of renders of December 21 looks nice. But for me, the bottom two have too much reflection in the tabletops. Your something or nothing did me think of clusterbombs. Oops, not what you were looking for... And the next one looks dangerous too! But the bottom one from 23 December looks very delicate and nice! The turning gems are great. Maybe you could lower the number of rpm, though? The one from 24 December looks like one of those office telephone conference things. But then one of the more expansive ones (from Bose, e.g.). You're waterfountain and drop renders look very good. And what renderer did you use on the droid?

    @TheSavage64. How active you have been!! Careful with that knife. Looks dangerous and you don't want any red stains on it! The coffee and swirl look good. I prefer black coffee, though. And the sugar lump is too cubic. You might have made the sides more rounded and irregular (in something like Hexagon). And where can I find that liquid freebie? The building of December 26 looks somewhat like Psycho was taken there: well done! Wonderful hourglass too.

    @chohole. Wonderful old-fashioned card you made there! You're shepperd scene looks nice too.

    @Horo. What 'meager WIP'? A beautiful flower garden. Where did you get the bugs? And the ladybugs look good too!

    @StuartB4. Lovely cups. Tabletop and snow look very convincing to me! And I think you've got the idea on the ladybug the wrong way around. Ladybugs eat ants, not vice-versa (I think). The mini looks really good in your scene. Wonderfully lighted! The plane has just dropped some bombs and scarcely gets away itself?

    @electro-elvis. The candle in front of the window is great. Don't mind the minimal haze. There is not always a haze.

    @David Brinnen. Like the plastic version of your funky shape more than the metal one. They could be some kind of jewels for a gothic person (the metal ones). And your V4 looks like a nightmare (which I mean positively, I think).

    @franontheedge. Thanks for the reply. No, I am not from the US. Here in a small country at the other side of the North Sea, we are cramped even more than you for space (I am Dutch). And I'd really love to see your model of a 300 years old house! I really like your paper-balls, specifically the coloured ones.

    @Saul_Rosenberg. uh, Who's there? I guess the wall is actually a 2D background. It looks a bit vague to me. Very nice render of R2-D2 and C-3PO. I created a nephew of C-3PO for some of my renders in Hexagon. You can see it in one of my entries for the 'Frozen' contest.

    @bullit35744: into the floating mountains, I see. I once made a render of a number of planets linked by ladders. See here: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2459091&user_id=666290&np;&np;
    @goshtac. Strange story, but funny objects in the sky.

    @nreed: scene looks really good.

    Finally: I wanted to upload a new render, just to find that I made the scene, but have not yet rendered it! Therefore, here an oldy that I made years ago, before I discovered many options in Bryce (or discovered Hexagon). So this is all Bryce. Just to show something after all this chitchat! (the men are posed in DAZ Studio).

    Hope you have a safe New Year's Eve!

    @Pam - a priceless render. Thank you and I join you in wishing all Brycers and Brycelings a Happy New Year.

    @hansmar - there are several types of bridges, it appears. The bugs are from DAZ 3D, the ladybugs from the Internet, TheSavage64 posted the link on page 40 of this thread.

    @nreed: That's a neat scene. Nice job.

    @David: Interesting results in your latest.

    @Horo: Thank you. Hard plastic? Hmm...guess it does at that. Below are a few more.

    @Pam: Cute.

    @hansmar: Thanks. Pillar is just used for display, and an idea for the scene that's still forming. Like that scene, it's really neat.


    Below are a few more results of the vase which ended up looking like a drinking glass. I like the overall look so much I got rather carried away trying different materials.

    @GussNemo - the BGR ones are the best because they are transparent, the others are not. The form is really very nice.

    Just a bit of fun with Vicky, I don't think there is any harm in her. Anyway, here's something a little less disturbing.

    Pam, cool. And a happy new year to you to!

    Trish and Hansmar, thank you for your kind remarks.

    Jamie, keep up the experiments!

    Edit: Horo's HDRI used for background and shadow capture surface.

    @Horo: Thank you. I was really surprised how well that object looked with transparent material. As I said in a previous post, I was having fun trying different materials, hence the other two. Some material fit that object better than others, the images below are an example.

    @David: Thanks, I shall try. Nice scene you created.

    @Dave: Ummm...that semi IS passing another vehicle, right, Dave? Still, way cool scene. And happy 2014 to you as well, nice image.

    @Trish: Thank you. And it's a pleasure seeing your work as well.

    @Stuart: Thank you and a Happy New Year to you too.


    Here are a few more renders of my vase/drinking glass object.

    Thanks Guss.
    No, the picture is taken from the median... Two lanes in each direction on that stretch but you don't get to see the two lanes in the other direction. :)

    Edited to add: The third one down is the best one from this bunch Guss. On the previous page, I preferred the Red, Blue, Green set because they looked most like glass.

    @Dave - They drive on the right side in the US. ;-P
    Give those guys Bryce and they won't hang around the numbers bored. :coolsmile:
    Nice renders, both.

    @GussNemo - more vases. I see what you mean. Once you have a certain set up, experimenting with materials is fun and the results can be compared.

    At first a happy new Year to all of you here.:-)

    So many beautiful Pictures here.... I'll visit this Forum not often, but I'll change this. I have much to learn, and I think this here is a good place to do this.
    Horo was so kind to gave me very helpful tipps for my Picture, a long time ago. I remember this. :)

    I learned a lot of things about Bryce since this time, and David Brinnen's Videos were very helpful since that time.

    I want tol show my weeping Trees here, my last Picture. So maybe someone has tips on what I could do better because?

    I did this one Just for Rashad. He said he could see a similarity with Mary J Blige, So I retextured her, jto see if the similarity was still there.

    @Horo: bridging a gap can be done in many ways indeed :) Thanks for the info on the bugs.

    @GussNemo: I think I like the RGB ones best too. I thought they were candles, though ;-)

    @bullit35744: thanks

    @TheSavage64: Nice render, Chicago style.

    @yellow Pen: Very nice scene! I like the fogginess over the water.

    @chohole: The lady looks very distinguished!

    Everyone: Happy 2014!

    Here is the link to my first part of the little story with the cousin of 3-CPO (again): http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewreply/512077/

    And added is part 2. Apparently there was some intelligence indeed. Not quite sure whether it is friend or foe. Looks like it is jumping my poor surveyor robot, but, who knows what will happen next?

    @yellow Pen - it's been a while ... now that weeping willows scene is fantastic. There's a lot of humidity in the air so not much direct bright light can penetrate. I think your result looks quite realistic.

    @Pam - looking great, your gift to Rashad.

    @hansmar - looking good. The flying one may just hold him back before he inadvertently falls into the crevice in front of him (invisible in the picture).

    @Dave: Oh that was a nice save. I still think it's passing another vehicle. :lol: I say passing because in the US four lanes like you suggest have white lines instead of the yellow you have in that image. Hint hint hint...;-)

    @yellow Pen: The only tip I can give concerning your image is stick a fork in it, it's done. That's a real nice image.

    @Pam: Even after you fiddled with that image it's still mighty fine.

    @hansmar: That image keeps getting more interesting as you work it.

    Chohole: Very nice Portrait. I like this style.

    Hansmar: Thanks for your nice comment, too. And I hope that nothing will happen to your little Roboter....:roll:

    Horo: I'm glad that you remember me :-) And thanks for your praise.

    Bullit: Your Grass looks very realistic to me, its really beautiful.
