Space
Description: Encoraged by Horo's kind comments I've decided to have another crack at Space. So here it is. I suppose it could be an alien vessle dropping out of hyperspace - it could be anything you want really. Just liked the colours.

Stars...

this one poses so many questions that is almost impossible to ask them all. first, the stars are what make this pick above all your other works. how did you achive the red tint and the apperance of speed? secondly, was that ship made in bryce? it has the apperance of some of your other mecha-landscapes, wich seem to be made in bryce. is it impossibly complicated boolean, wings sculpting, or high quality volumatric materials? to digress, I always wondered what you made the towers out of in your "witness to ruin", so could you clarify that? yes, I know this has been a lot of questions, but I am insanely curious on this picture.

by the way, this picture looks to me like a strange sattilite orbiting the red planet. oh, and nice job. 5/5.

Hmn...

I can see I've got my work cut out for me. OK, KillingArmyMan, well I'll have a go - metaspheres - oh dear, I mean I have pretty fast machine but the last render I did with metaspheres took 500 hours - seriously. And I have not touched them since, I'll see what I can do, but I have issues with metaspheres - serious time issues, not mine for once, the processors, lol. I wonder how much it helps to have worked in other mediums - I was a pretty serious airbrush artist once you know, did an eight foot by four foot painting of freshwater fish for the Northern General Hostpital in Sheffield and all - if you ever go there you could check it out. Even I haven't seen it hung up - haven't got a clue what they did with it. Maybe it has gone now. Who knows, anyhow, that sort of hands on experiance might help when it comes to putting things together - you pick it up as you go alone, it'll come.

LitoNico, stars are made red by the application of a thick haze and atmosphere colouration with a red tint. Wide angle view helps too to bring out this effect. The ship is a stack of fractal terrains, one of the terrain objects that ships with bryce on fact, I just used bits of them at a time and converted them into lattices so that it would fit together with more holes. The material is the same as I used on technocity pic, just a slope controlled techno texture with bumps added and made a bit shiny. The witness to ruin was a similair material but blend transparency used to give lots of holes and it was applied to a quantised terrain.

Phew, right thankyou for your kind words, if you need further clarification on any points just rephrase the question, I know I'm not the best when it comes to explaining things.

The sun

I guessed a lot of things how it was done correctly (thanks to earlier comments). If you did the planet as I had done, I wonder how the rest was assembled into the pic. An if it's done the way I think, I'm even more intrigued why it didn't occur to me to put the sun at the horizon. I wanted to do such a thing but I couldn't figure out how, and now it looks so obvious. Yes -- and the colours are good!

Never put up with an artist. I've thought all the while that there must be more to David than ?just? being an expert Bryce wielder. Pics from folks with an art background are always better than those from the rest of the pack. I can see the difference but what makes that difference eludes me most of the time. Well, at least I'm on the board for the idea. Thanks.

Here's the answer I gave to Jesuis

Well to begin with I removed the ground plane and set the sun in shot just below the horizon. Then flipped the camera over so that the cloudy sky now becomes the planet below (the curveture was put in PSP7 with the pinch filter). Then widened the camera angle. To get the stars red misty like
that (ensrueing that you have turned the stars on) go to Atmosphere in the Sky Lab and add atmosphere colour with a high (10) red component and a bit of green (2) avoid blue otherwise it will turn purple obviously. Then add Haze (coloured white) to between 4 and 40 (depending on the look you are going for) and if you pick a nice bright colour for the horizon and dark for the sun glow and black for the sky iteself (in the costom sky setting on the far left) you should be getting somewhere in the region then it is just a matter of tweeking. For added brightness I added a lens flair in post production but maybe that was a bit over the top.

The ship is a group of terrains and the plasma is a slight mod of the one on my site.

To manouvre the sun in can be handy to use the CTRL+ALT double click on the sun rollerball then CTRL+ALT on the wireframe will put the sun on the end of the pointer - to disenguage this facillity CTRL+ALT back on the rollerball and it will toggle off.

Awesome

Awesome work, I love the st4rs myself. Just to comment on the offense thing, =) No I take no offense, though I run the site, I'm not a great modeler nor artist. Coding is my real love, and that I am good at. David is clearly one of the best artists, but I believe there are many outstanding artists on this site. David is by far, though, one of the most consistant. Popping out new amazing artworks only weeks sometimes even days apart, you can truly see his skill and dedication. Just look @ the detail every picture gets, no matter how simple, its still detailed.
