My first Bryce 3D rendered image. Title = Distant memories. Click on image |
|
This is the result of a new process in digital art for me, Bryce 3D. With Bryce, three dimensional landforms and skies are created digitally and rendered such that they can look like photographs. Like other paint programs Bryce is a tool to be used like a paint brush or imagination. With Bryce in my box of painting tricks, it does not spell an end to my hand painting in acrylic, oils, and watercolor, it just means the options opened up another dimensional art door. We are truly in a Renaissance for computer/art cultural enhancement. So, here is a dream inspired, Bryce 3D, alien art. |
item two: |
Siren on the rock. Click on image. |
|
The sky water and rocks are from Bryce 3D. The female figure is from Poser 2 modified with redrawing in photoshop. The skeleton and skull are from poser 2. special effects like reflections, the woman's feet under water, and color enhancement done in Photoshop 4. The idea of this picture is the myth of the siren's call luring the sailors to their deaths and a ship is on it's way, attracted by her deadly song. |
item three: |
Experimental surf. Click on image. |
|
I wanted a way to create waves coming into shore in Bryce 3 as an experiment in rendering ocean/shore landscapes digitally. Otherwise traditionally I'd be working from pencil sketches from a photograph and would have to wait for the painting process to work out the color and final composition. Here I made a 3 dimensional landscape in Bryce, tweaked the color and highlights in photoshop, and added the canvas texture in Painter. For a virtual Gallery on the internet, this sort of art is fine, but I am still in the debating stage as to this digital art standing on it's own next to the stuff I do by hand on real canvas and real paint ? |
item four: |
Medusa. Click on image. |
|
I created the water sky and architecture in Bryce 3D, posed the two skeletons in Poser 2 then imported them into Bryce 3 as obj files. The Medusa was made from poser 1, adding bat wings and decorative snakes for hair using photoshop. Medusa was imported into Bryce as a 2D flat image. The finishing touches were airbrushed using Photoshop. |
item five: |
Hawaiian's on the beach at sunset. Click on image. |
|
Two women relax on the warm sand and watch the sunset and a child play along the waters edge. A calm warm day about to end. Landforms and sky are from Bryce 3D, the figures from Poser 2. Adjustments to shade and color done in photoshop 4. I'm not happy with the shading on the reclining woman's dress, but that can be fixed someday. |
item six: |
Wanderer. Click on image |

Experimenting with Bryce 3D's potential to make space related scenes. |
