Well, I'm going to school in approximately a week, so Renderosity goes on the back burner for a while. =) It's been a swell summer with you guys and I look forward to getting back into the swing of things. The attached image is a scaled down version of my latest upload. I'm quite pleased with it, especially since I was trying out a lot of new techniques. The bricks are Wings3D, everything else except for the rain and light rays is Bryce. Yes, the grass is true 3D and 100% Bryce5. =) There was a lot of postwork in Paint Shop Pro to improve the coloring and add the rain and light rays. The link is to a full scale and much better version of it in my gallery. Hope you like it and any suggestions or just comments are appreciated. I'll be around. =)

Here's the original image, without any postwork except to scale it down, in case anyone's interested. =)

Definite improvement after post work. Superbly done. Back to school, huh. A parent's favourite time of year! :-)

Yup! The post work definitely adds to the air of mystery and discovery. You did an excellent job with the foliage, also...many folks simply don't add enough to their pics to make it believable. Yours is quite convincing.

Here's one with a different focus. I think I like this one a bit better; it has a more definite focus to it as opposed to the more vague focus of the other one. Thanks everyone!
