**This is my first render with Bryce 7 Pro. Bryce 7 Pro is almost usless and too much bugged.** All the interesting new features require a powerful PC and days of render if you are interested (like me) to do high resolution renders... and because I work as illustrator I don't have days for a render, so Bryce 6 or Bryce 4 are better for me and my work. This render take me 12 hours in Default quality, and it came out almost such as a Bryce 4 Render - I think that with Bryce 4 would take less than 30 minutes... :( It take so many time just because I've used 5 "sphere fill light" to improve the shadows generated by the backlight (great new light effect but bad render time). In Bryce 7 Pro the HDRI illumination does not work properly, and the instacing lab crash the program every time unless you use primitive shapes... by the way: Bryce 7 Pro is used to crash often if you are used to work quickly... :(

Anyway... rendered in Bryce 7, Background in Bryce 4 (it was and old background starfield made by me), composing, effects (engines glare and general glare) and color correction in Photoshop 6.
The original file is 3636x2284 pixels.

Feel free to comment my image in the Rederosity Bryce gallery... :)
