Description:	This idea came from one of the featured article in the Simthsonian Magazine. I did try my hand at painting in Photoshop as the Rams looked to clean or pristine. I have been practicing with the HDRI and the sun is over head and i used the Back Yard HDRI as it seemed to have a crisp lighting.

You did an excellent job. You have used the hdri feature well. The image is well composed. The fur on the animals seems very good also. I think you did a splendid job! Impressive.

Good set up. This works, but I think the scene has potential for other lighting arrangements. The sky for me is a bit too familiar, either that or I am too familiar with bryce. Anyhow, maybe pull the camera in for a bit more of a close up, nothing to drastic, as Rashad says the composition is good already, and try some sunset colours.

Looks great. What is HDRI?

I am finding the different hdri's do have a there own ways to cast light. I will have to check out Horo's site and download the HDRI's he is mentioning. I take it that you cannot have the sun in the scene unless you activate the sun?

David, The terrain material is one of yours. I am not sure were I got it. I played with the lighting more than I would like to say. I did have to put a light next to the rams as there faces were very dark. I am not even sure what kind of lighting to use to make the scene look better so any other comments on this would help.

FoxBoy, I am hoping that one someone that knows more about this than myself will answer you question but you can find this in the Sky Lab under IBL next to Atmosphere.

I think what David means is to perhaps test out other hdri images. You might play around with the position of the sun also.

Foxboy hdri is for High Dynamic Range Image. It simply means that the image is stored in layers that have different brightness levels capturing many more colors than the 16 million standard. It is used by the Image Based Lighing feature of bryce. The IBL works by doing the job of building an invisible dome of point lightsources around the entire world. All of the models in your scene will be inside of this dome. Each light in the dome gains it's color and intensity from the color information stored in the hdr image. Each light casts it's own shadows so the more lightsources ( higher ibl quality) the more smooth shadows and light become, more realism. You can have thousands oif lights in the IBl. The same dome made of radials would take much much longer to render. IBl is optimized.
You commented on the seemingly out of place shadows in my Perfectville Scenes and I explained to you then that it is due to the fact that a low IBl quality of few lights were used and each light casts a shadow from it's postiion on the dome creating what might look like a misplaced shadow. In truth all of that disappears at higher settings.

They simply place a silver ball into any real life situation. The shape of the silver ball means that it will reflect a very wide angle of view. They then use this image to recreate that lighting in a computer generated scene. Things brings real world light into cg art and much greater realism results.

IBL is a bryce6 feature only. If you are using previous version then it will not work.

You are improving fast. This is an excellent piece of work. I second David about the sky being the weakest element here. But to get the Bryce sky right isn't the easiest part.

If you load an HDRI, sun, haze and fog are switched off. There is no reason why you should not switch any or all of them back on. It depends what for you are using IBL. If you use one with a strong (sun) light source, you can do without the sun or still use it with a slightly different colour - but you have to align the Bryce sun with the sun in the HDRI - except you have a world with two suns. If the HDRI used has more evenly distributed light, you would rather use it to fake radiosity and keep the Bryce sun - even enhance it with an additional radial. There is no best HDRI but there are some that are better suited for the project at hand than others. And there is no HDRI too weird for a special project.

I think you should submit this to the Daz Bryce Galleries. It has a nice open air feeling, very uplifting.

Rashad, This was very nice of you to suggest this. I can see you submitting your work along with some others but would have never thought this would be up to speed. I felt that I could have done something more with the grass and the clouds as suggested. Thanks for the encouragement. I will give this some thought.
