Description
Bryce 6.1/Photoshop/Photoscape
A return to sci-fi with this one,and a new model as well.Lifepod is created from positive and negative prims,and one shape from Spacebones.Textures are presets,with the hull texture combining a damaged metal preset and a spaceship texture from www.turbosquid.com.A radial light was placed within the pod(the inside is hollowed out)and shines out through the glass of the hatch.The alien plants are lattices that I created in the terrain editor using soft brushes.They are rendered in a modified pumpkin preset texture.Mud is a modified preset,water is also a preset.Sky,atmo and light are custom,foreground fog is a modified cloud volumetric applied to a sphere.The image was rendered in Superfine setting,and took 4.5 hours at this resolution size.Post in Photoshop involves the sparks,smoke and burn damage to the pod,distant birds and signature.A bloom filter,contrast boost and frame were added in Photoscape 3.3.Thanks for viewing,and any comments!

A very cool idea...super done!
Now this was a great idea, Neil. The Lifepod emerges from the alien plants to give a source of shelter to other worldly beings...just my take, here. Thanks for all of the explanation details. They really give a more in-depth look at the render.
Gorgeous work of art.*****
Very nice image. Great lighting and atmosphere! Excellent render.
Great modelling - the light shining out from the pod is my fave part, but a fascinating image once again ;)
Water fog and colours are great
Stunning setting and I love the alien plants! Well done!
So stunning sci fi scene!
A striking image. One wonders if the occupant(s) might not have jumped from the frying pan into the fire, though. It doesn't impress me as a particularly nice planet upon which to be stranded. Like the plants, too.
Really nice work on it, I'm learning more from you on how to use lights every time you post. Very cool!
Very well done! I really like those alien plants. It makes the world look, you know... alien.
HO ยง IMPRESSIVE SF SCENE !!! sUPERB REALISATION !! Wonderfull style & dynamical environment, xxxxx
Very well done. I like the atmosphere you have created with this and the explanation is interesting, you see what work goes into an image like this. What's in the pod?
Cool modeling work and render. Nice job on the alien landscape, the atmosphere rocks BIG time!

Beautiful work you are most certainly a very accomplished artist! great gallery.
Excellent sci fi!
Excellent! You have certainly got a great style of your own going.
...and I bet she said, it's O.K., I have a licence ! Kool lighting and textures, not to mention your work-flow process. Well done & ~Cheers~
Fabulous looking Lifepod you've created here Neil, you sure are one of the master Bryce modellers. Excellent sci-fi scene again from you and you sure do make great use of a wealth of resources. Tony.
Classic Grafikeer sci-fi! Great modeling, as always, and a wonderful moody alien landscape.
