Description
Modelled in Wings3D except for clock (Bryce primatives), textured and rendered in Bryce5.
Bryce version of Rene Magritte's "Time Transfixed (La duree poignardee)" by the great Belgian Surrealist.
I attempted this 3 years ago, but was not satisfied with the result. I scrapped all the models except for the clock and redid them with Wings. I didn't get the shadows the way I wanted them, but after trying for hours, I realized that Magritte had played around with the physics of the lights, and said, "close enough".
One of my Surrealist Heroes, I hope I did him justice.
