Description
First render with Bryce 6.0. It's not really an image in itself--these are two characters who'll be appearing in a much larger scene of about fourteen or so characters (someone tell Flak I'm gaining on him), four of whom are dressed and posed; however, I got sidetracked with the musicians, because as of yet, no one's put together the Slavic band package. The concertina was modeled in Carrara, replete with bones in the bellows for elasticity. For the balalaika, I borrowed the neck from the lute from the V3 Harem Dancer set, but since the balalaika only has three strings, not six, I had to chuck the frets, pegs, and tuning keys and make my own; these were constructed from extended primitives and assembled in Carrara. Then I exported the complete neck into Hexagon and fashioned the body (tesselation and vertex manipulation) and the strings (single polyline traced down the neck and frets, with added thickness to turn them into strings). The real purpose of the render is to display how the instruments turned out, and, in general, to post something to prove I haven't been lazying about (although I did knock off early last night to watch "The Black Dahlia"). I expect the main pic will take me another week to set up. Thanks for taking a gander.

Looks really a fantastic "Duo"....bravissima as usual!!V:DDD.Hugsxx
excellent image well done very realistic
Wonderful looking characters, great posing, excellent work on the modelling as well, it will be interesting to see if Bryce can handle 14 characters without dying like Vue :) superb first with 6 Aaron.
Nice work, reminds me of old paintings!
Wonderful image....love your light!
Superb piece! :) Bravo!
They look great! A wonderful image! Great costumes, posing, expressions especially and attention to detail. Superb!
Excellent work. Your modeling skills and poses are fantastic. wow, 14 characters? can't wait to see it!
excellent output ! great characters !
Excellent composition, lighting & realistic posing. I have to say, though, that after reading your description of the work that went into modeling the instruments, it doesn't really come across in this render. They look ok, but I don't see much detail in them. Maybe the dark lighting obscures the detail?
wow what a couple :)wonderful characters and impressive textures on the clothes,love the facial expressions,what are they singing :)truly a wonderful creation,excellent****************
Wow!. This is an excellent render Aaron. You have captured the singing expressions perfectly and super work on the instruments. Thanks for all the info. I am still using Bryce 4 and I used it to make 25 plus characters/models to make a background for one of my earlier Daz studio Quest pics..the file size was about 290 megabyte and it handled it no problem so Bryce 6 should sail through. Must say though, that they did'nt have any intricate clothing tex on. Excellent work. Well done!
Very cool so far! I can't wait to see the final composition!! The concertina looks great!
Very impressive!! Love the modelling you did and awesome lighting showcasing these two interesting fellows :)
going to play all night long
brillianbt created Bryce work with a real splendid light setting and atmosphere! Fabulous render! Bravo!!!
Nice scene, like a detail from a painting, good work with the modelling too.
That is so awesome. I just wish I had the discipline to teach myself Hexagon. Wow, can't wait to see the final image!
You've done a superb job, both on the rendering and the modelling - I'm really looking forward to the final scene if these guys are just Rosencrantz & Guildenstein type players! Bravo!
Klasse image,like it a lot!!!!!!
Wonderful atmosphere... bravissima
I think it's a wonderful scene -- these two could be on stage performing, as your choice of lighting and the dark environment could suggest -- very cool and well done! :)
