Description
Well, this was an actual application of bryce. In one of my classes we were required to construct a bridge of 'ministicks' that would be supporting a rather large amount of weight. The class of 167 students would be graded based on their bridge weight/load before breaking. The bridge performed rather well, though we had a faulty tooth-pick, that was a disapointment. This was the original design for the bridge, and the final is an exact replica of this. if I had a digital camera I'd show you. Anyway it weighs about 19.5 grams and held significantly more weight, 30-40 pounds. Prior to the machine destroying my bridge, I tested it in my dorm and it held all of my books. It was built out of "mini sticks" here is the bryce render. Enjoy.
Bryce wise, this is a "radiosity" render.

Fantastic. Who needs a photo when you can do something like that. Congratulations, both for the render and making the best bridge.
wow... looks like the thing I built with Bridge Builder.Did stress loads and got harder with each design.Good render.

Great use of radiosity, Ornlu, I like this one better than your forum version...
Very cool.. I like the color of the one in the Forum better. But none the less a cool image.
Congratulations!!!...you have excellent cretivity...Awesome render!!! Like the depth and your model is jst awesome!!!:)
I had to do this as well many years ago, the structure looks like it will hold. Great stuff!!
Congrats on your project, I would never think that that thing could hold that much weight.
Yeah, neither did I...
the DOF is incredible
Curious explanation, I'm admired. And one hell of a render, too.
Wow, picture perfect!
i have made so many of these it's disgusting, great to see a perfect image all made in bryce... my head spins and jaw drops. can you do dominoes next ... please?
