Here are some images I created using Bryce 3D. Click on the thumbnails for the full sized version.
The 3 images above where created when the features of Bryce 3D were very new to me.
Since then I've had a bit more time to learn more about what the software can do and hence the images below have a lot more to them. I deliberately tried to break away from the use of watery reflections.
I used multi layers of terrain to create a greater sense of depth and to vary the textures.
| In this first one I was pleased with the feeling of depth that the haze gave but I still felt that the foreground seemed a little 'flat'. I wasn't happy with the little puddle at the bottom left either. |  |
| I added another light source which not only solved the 'flat' foreground but inspired the title 'Fire Ants'. I think the addition of the fire and smoke improves the overall balance. |  |
| This third image is of the same scene but from a slightly different angle. No extra points for the artistic merit but I thought it was interesting and after the hours I spent on it I was up for a freebie. |  |
| The basic same scene but in moonlight. Some items have been repositioned and in smoke has been improved but the eye needs something to lead it beyond the foreground. |  |
| It may be a bit corny but the visiting UFO provides not only the central focal point but also an extra light source to create a greater sense of depth. |  |
Latest addition
When I get time I will add more images to this page.
