beautiful !! Thanks for the Card All the best to you and yours too 5.5 hours is amazing.. it shows your friendship for us !!!
Thank you, Neil! I've installed the hologram as instructed, but I'm getting a message saying that I must wait 247 years before the technology is available to power it up... :o) Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thanks for all the marvelous visual feasts you've provided through the year.
Excellent work!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!
Looks like you've got this material thing down pat! Cool render and character. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
A different and well done Christmas card render, Neil. The render time paid of very well for you. The mats you have used for her outfit echo the seasonal colors and I especially like the hologram snow globe she is holding. Merry Christmas to you and your's.
Excellent work! Really well done! :)

Merry Christmas !!! Perfect a 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice scene! Well done. Merry Christmas!
Very interesting composition, very balanced, as usual. Her outfit is really cool and I like the reflection of the sky in her jacket. The hologram is well done. Three minor points: There's a very sharp triangle like shadow in her belly. That kind of thing also appears in Vue (it's related with the bump map) and I'd know how to correct it there but I have no idea in Bryce. Her hair seems too doll like, IMO. I have a feeling there should be some small rocks or pebbles spread on the ground. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a fantastic 2009!
Excellent SF concept & realised scene !!! SUPERB !! Have good Xmass Hollydays !!! xxxxx
I LOVE the hologram, looks great!
