Description
The objects are from "Fifty Funky Shapes & Fifty Funky Metals" (available at Daz 3D). Background and light by the "Subway-Lights" HDRI from the DVD to the book "The HDRI Handbook 2.0" by Christian Bloch, modified to be usable with Bryce 6 & 7. As shadow capture, a flat parallel light with a surface material was used. This third shadow capture method was developed in December 2013 and used here for the first time.

Wow, really nailed the realism with the shadows. Beautiful lighting and architecture,
You, Sir, are truly a master of HDRI and its use. Your descriptions of method have inspired me to try new things several times. Keep it up. :-)
