Coffee, Anyone?

Applying the wood texture to the top of the table and adding reflective properties to that texture is discussed here. Photo map textures applied to an object can have reflection. After applying the photo texture turn up the reflective setting in the Materials Editor to the desired degree. Care has to be taken not to add too much reflection otherwise the texture can be lost under its shine.

The Message

Star Wars is making a resurgence in our pop culture. The Star Wars models were found at Star Wars MA Archives. You will see a number of other Star Wars character renderings at my other galleries. The models are quite detailed, and it was fun to try different colors and textures on each.

Way Down Under

I wanted the effect of an aurora borealis. I put in a large 3D oval and assigned a cloud texture and transparency to it. I then projected colored directional lights onto the cloud to get the desired color effect.

Luscious!

I took a simple subject of cherries from Zygote Sample I CD-ROM and added the drops of water and water texture found in Bryce 4. Not all clear textures treat light refraction the same. For this reason you may need to explore how the clear texture might look on various objects like windows, water, eye glasses, etc.. Don't be afraid to try different clear textures. You can also turn up or turn down the transparency and reflective quality for a variation in that texture in the Materials Editor.

Summer Court'n

My first attempt at using Painter 6 by Corel with a Byrce generated scene. This piece took quite sometime to put all pieces together. The Southern bell’s skirt was created from one skirt and duplicated three times with the length being reduced each time. Airbrushing, with ColorIt!, had to be used to blend visible seams created by the resizing technique.

Ribbon's Ribbon

Kai's Power Tools 5 filters added to Adobe Photoshop are great fun to experiment with. Here I added color and antialias and a repeated pattern to get this interesting piece.

Which Way?

The Victoria (Vicky) Poser model was purchased from Zygote. It is a more realistic female model than what comes with Poser. The textures were an additional charge but well worth the small price. This scene was totally rendered in Bryce with a little additional work done to the hair.

World Guardian

The eagle and nest (nest was free) models and their textures were purchased from Zygote. I moved the posable parts, of the eagel, with Poser and exported as a Wavefront object model. The image of the Grand Cañon was taken from the Lycos search engine. I then applied a smart blur filter in Photoshop over the image to give it a distant look.

Ever Prowlers

This was my first try at creating an underwater scene. After succeeding, I then got hooked and created others as you will noticed. I found a great tutorial on how to do this at Visual Magic Magazine.

Entwined Expression

The human models were created with Poser by Curious Labs. Colored lights were added to create background color. The shine on the lips and finger nails was added by turning up the ambient lighting to that body part only.

Out To Pasture

Taking a potentially flawless shiny model and now making it look old can give an interesting twist to the model and theme. The plant models were created using Plant Studio. This inexpensive and handy program can provide DXF models of plants to be used in Bryce or any other dxf savy program. The 34 Ford model was taken from the Cybazarr web site. This art piece took up a large amount of my time to get the sun and environmental effects to my liking (trying various sky presets and altering them).
