Description
OK updates...
New legs and arms (more polygons..surprise, surprise LOL) mandibles now gold as were too dark, abdomen size increased to give more balance to model.
Still a way to go....wings and casings...weapons..etc to be made.
Modeled by myself in Bryce 4 using boleans and primitives.
Answering a question...Is Bryce 4 more stable for modeling than other versions? ....Yes.
Bryce 4 and 5.5 are the only versions that can handle hig poly bolean counts, i cannot open any of my models in 6 or 7 (i have the pro versions of each) they crash when i try. From my Brother Dave Robinson aka bambam131 who was a tester for the later versions he noted they were not suitable for modeling (yes Bryce was never meant for modeling) along with other complaints about them...i will stick to the old and way more stable 4 thank you :)

Formidable !!!!
Nice work.
Keeps gettin' better! Legs look much more substantial now. As for weapons. . . I think I might start with a mini-gun on each forelimb. You always seem to make good choices so no matter what, it will be awesome.
Fantastic! Corrie
Fabulous creation !!!
Awesome...Fantastic work...!!!!
Well Done my Friend as always your work is amazing and inspiring. You get a Favourite for this amazing Mantis This reminds me of a Boxer Mantis I own I will have to send you a photo. Well Done Karl
Stunning! I preferred Bryce 4; I have 7, but rarely use it due to crashes.
Again, as always an amazing display of modeling using a program that was never designed for that purpose! If only people knew how you put this critter together and the amount of detail that you have put into each and every part. Brilliant! Your bro, David
this is something I need to get my head around creating more stuff in Bryce with boleans and primitives, you have really mastered this concept excellent
