Description
Deep underground, this powers a whole city.
-*-
The cable braids I made by hacking up bits of a cable knot exported from KnotPlot. For this I used my old Carrara 1.0. Bryce primitives with Rochr's "New Metal" texture in Object Cubic mapping mode, and some glass. A few radial and spot lights. No sun, no haze nor fog. A wide camera angle. At the end, I also made a distance render and used that to slightly blur some nearby features that were ugly and pixellated. 6-8h rendering. [Ed:now it's a full panorama! Can't upload it here, you must have the free Apple QuickTime Player installed and go to my page to see it, Enjoy!]

incredible work jim--excellent modeling and perfect lighting as always. love the cables too. excellent job!
Oh wow, this is really wonderful work! Very detailed and realistic. :)
I have always been amazed at how detailed and multidimensional your Bryce creations are, and also what great lighting you create in your scenes....!!
Very interesting chaos building!
There's always movement in your work, giving a sense of life - either in the image, or ... just off to one side, ready to enter the scene again. Well done.
ah, finally got to see some work with knotplot output woven into in a complex scene, good job. You folks know what that thing in the middle is, dontcha? It's Jims brain!
Now this is the type I like from lemonjim.Awsome
Detailed and busy..great composition!well done!!
Whoa, you are WEIRD! Well, not weird, wonderful... Very complex and intricate! You made cables with Knotplot, when you have Carrara? Free Form Editor?
Amazing design, cables are fantastic & also the walkways that end. Light & mats...Great Comp!!
Awesome modeling and mats! It's really intricate and I like the lighting you have in it also. Really a great image!!
Amazing job--great modelling, great mats. Excellent!
Fantastic construct, Jim! The core of the vessel, it is. My hat's off to your design skill as usual.
Very Matrix-esque. I like it!
My head is spinning. One week it is delicate and beautiful flowers and the next it is a scene from Half-Life. Your imagination is certainly multi-faceted. Fun picture that keeps me looking. Well done.
Amazing image full of detail as always. Excellent work...
Awesome dark atmosphere and modeling!
Veery eerie! Very cool, most excellent and superbly outstanding. Love the dark atmosphere as it really forces the eye to examing everything to take it all in.
compliments in full dear... this is gorgeous also in this version.
great reactor! a great image in "lemonjim"'s stile!
Ooh! This is fun! Wallpapertime!
Looks powerful for sure. Maybe this is what we need to finally be able to generate warp power...? Great going as usual pal! :)
