Holy Bryce!....it's been 1.5 years to the day that I last uploaded an image here. WOW, does time freaking FLY!
Well, obviously my work is keeping me from making Bryce art like I used to, and I would love
to make more complex scenes, but for now, I can only squeeze out the simple/quick renders.
This is a mesh made available by the INRIA Gamma team.
I first ran it through ZBrush to subdivide it a few times before importing it into Bryce.
The tile floor terrain was created in Photoshop, painted over a retail texture.
The Starfishes material is "Tagetic" from the "50 Spectacular Marble Presets" from DAZ.
I rendered out many various passes (including HDRI) and composited
them all (20+ layers) in Photoshop for complete control in the final image.
The HDRI used is from Keith Bruns, yet for some reason was not included in the Bryce 6 install with his others.
The one I did use (called "japanese subway station") and can be downloaded from his website (www.unparent.com).
Thanks and keep on Bryce-ing!!

WOW, the virtual realism is astounding and the creation model itself is out of this world, just one thing though,............... don't take so long to upload the next one ;^D
Superb!
This is absolutely stunning - want to reach out and touch !!!! :-)
Looks more organic than marble, WB AS!!
Wow! Amazing!
This is one awesome organic texture. Very well done.
Awesome stuff! What ever it is!!!
Complete control of the image?!?! I'm not even sure what I would DO for 20 different layers... VERY COOL. Would love to see an untextured version of the mesh itself.
Nice to see Smithy back with a vengeance! Well done, my son!
MindBlowing and I think Mr Smith would find this rather stinky, if I recall he does not like smells. Awsome work and I see you came back with a vengence.
Great to see an image from you! This is pretty wild, and everything about the render is top notch!
E X C E L L E N T !!!!!
I wouldn´t touch that with a stick! Nice to see a fresh render from you. Stunning result
20 LAYERS!!! Are you sure you have control or it has control over you. Wow, I would love to sit with you and watch how you manipulate that many layers to achieve an effect. I think about 5 is all I ever, ever had in a scene. I don't know whether to cry at my inadequacies or throw up. I'll just jump for joy at your talent. Super!
Wow! Magnificent... The star has a wet/ glass feel to it... as if it was just pulled from the oceans and put there..
Great texture for a starfish and also for an octopus. I like very much your work with the tile floor terrain.
Ummmmm... I'm having a "squik" moment. That thing looks gross to me. Don't get me wrong. It's incredible and very well done, but it's grossing me out, man! :c)
