Description
Or maybe I should say that my own imagination is, sometimes. I didn't set out to make anything even remotely like this, but then my friend showed me a cool picture of a Trilobyte, and somehow I ended up in a totally different place than I'd intended.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
These ships were modeled in Bryce (including engine exhausts) and the background was made in Adobe Photoshop. Textures are all my own, this time, too.
Thanks for taking a look everyone!

Cool spacework.
I like a good, sleek, high-tech trilobyte and these are amazing! Now I am wondering who built them and where there're going, as it looks as if they're in a hurry! This is a super render and one that I hope opens the door into a brand new universe. I love the textures. I love the colors. I love the trilobite inspiration. Amazing work. I especially like the background as well...foreground and background are perfect for each other here! More would be nice!
this is so cool thanks
I like these ships much ! I got quite enthralled when I first looked at the pic and lots of memories began flooding back, so it took me some time and effort to sort through them... In fact, they combine bioships design trends, like B5 Vorlons, Farscape Moya or Freelancer Nomads, with classical rocketships style of the grand Space-Op' tradition and a texture reminiscent of the famous "Ailleurs et Demain" abstract metal-like book covers. Lots of very meaningful references for someone like me, and that explains how powerfully they moved my mind and memories ^-^
Nice Spacecraft!
Outstanding space scene!
Fantastic image and models. Great textures and lighting. Corrie
These spaceships are wonderful, excellent modelling work! I also like the textures very much. Super Bryce work!
very very cool
The ships remind me Flas Gordon, good memories. A classic SCFI. Congrat.
So many of my creations end up not the way I was intending them to be and ended up being some of my best work....Funny how ones imagination has a way of taking over during the creative process!.. Stellar Scene and Modeling!
great ship models, cool sci-fi scene
They look fast and mean~ =) Great construct!
outstanding
These ships are incredible, Mike! They do remind me very much of trilobites… It still amazes me the things you get Bryce to do… Last time I tried to texture anything in Bryce, it just kept crashing on me. I'll probably try again once I have a little bit more time, and now that I have Bryce seven Pro… I certainly couldn't resist it at the current price… :-)
Excellent ships! Love that texture. To me, they had a Babylon 5 feel to them, but I was thinking more of Shadow ships...
Nice results with this "doctored" image.
Wonderful job my friend...did you post your model in free stuff :)
Agree with geirla. I like the second version best but both are good.
