Description
This started as an experiment to create a sand texture using a photo from cgtextures as a bump map.I liked the look,so I added Michael 3 in the Slayer Guard outfit and with the gun from the HardCore outfit(all from Daz3D and posed in DazStudio).This led to the new ship model created completely in Bryce 6.1,with a customized preset metal texture.The sky and lighting are custom,and two spheres,rendered in a volumetric dust texture, add the effect of swirling sand.The image is rendered in Premium with DOF selected.Post in Photoshop consists of footprints in the sand and signature.Thanks for viewing and any comments you wish to leave,they are greatly appreciated!

Wait until he tangles with a local and that new armor gets scuffed up a bit. Cool picture, but is he good or evil?
Nice sand! And that's a really cool ship. Great dust effect too.
Excellent modeling and mood. The sand worked really well!

Sweet render my friend. The classic grafikeer POV and sand dune still works so well.
Really great here! :)
I like the sense of power the lone soldier has....With a ship like that backing you up you'd have lots of confidence to walk alone in dangerous terrritory. Fx are nicely done. excellent image...
Awesome image! Love the POV and the ship and his outfite, great job on making him look dusty too, awesome!
It's all good--very good! I especially like the swirling dust effect and the sand texture works well. Fine modeling too.

Now you have to write the novel, Neil. A super presentation for the cover of a SciFi book by the same name. A fav.

A nicely constructed scene- good atmosphere and POV. The sand texture worked worked out well.
Wow! I see you've been very busy with some outstanding work. Has to be one of the very best Sci-fi orientated galleries going. Great composition here.
