Description
This is my final picture in the series that I have come to call "The Annals of Malena". 13 images, each with their own story and their own unique character. DAZ3D's Victoria 2.0 and Michael 2.0 were adapted and morphed to reflect their older Poser 4-based figures and hand-made textures were created for both Malena and Braedan. The droma and the Sadusi figures were taken from earlier projects - "Vigilance"and "Hanging by a Thread" respectively. The wrecked starship was modeled in Rhino3D 2.0, the holes and rough edges created by a combination of negative boolean lattices and transparency masks in Bryce 4, and the monolith was a simple bryce object with a UV-mapped scanned image. Post-rendering was minimal and done with Corel PhotoPaint 10, using distance masks created in Bryce 4.0 and then Gaussian blurred. Minor touchups were done on the figures, but with the new Millenium figures this was hardly necessary!

I'll have to look up the whole series.
The complete series, full-sized pics and storyline (in the correct order) can be found at http://hamfast.bryce-alive.net/annals.html if you are interested!
Great job...posing, textures, lighting all look wonderful!
An amazing end to your Odyssey! Brilliant rendering!
Now this is awesome. Not only do you have a talent in using poser and other apps, but you seem to have talent for making your art tell stories. Well done. ---- Scott.
I remember this series from some years ago. Wonderful to view it again--well, part of it, anyway.
