Description
Rendered in Bryce 5...inside a lightdome -pffffff (70 h on a 2,2GHz proc.). I wanted to simulate global illumination since I wasn't happy with the greyish colours I obtained first; I believe the lightdomes do the job but we need serious proc. power. ;-) Objects from web, Bryce trees, slight touch-up in PS (waterfall, smoke, highlights) - thanks for viewing.

Is simply wonderful! You've done a real stunning work ;)
Gorgeous image!! There is so much work done in this scene I don't know where to start. The castle is spectacular and very well planned out, right down to the cathedral over looking the river. The sky and lighting is powerful and menacing, all the trees and shrubs add great depth. I love the canoe half submerged along the riverbank. Cool little transport ship. The thought that went into this is remarkable. Great job!! ~ Ryan
Really an awesome work! Very very well done. like it so much, the castle is genial!
superb image. Great texturing and color choices for the roofs and walls and everything. I really like that stream of smoke coming from the airship too!
Excellent composition and a wonderful scene with great color. Excellent work!
Wonderful job! I'll say it was worth 70 hours, although I have never spent so much time with a render in Bryce.
Great composition and atmosphere.
Where does that castle come from. It's just wonderful.

Pretty nice looking picture - always have had a big soft spot for castles :) Can see a lot of work went into this. Excellent result.
Very nice work! I like foliage and marerials! Excellent!
hmm light dome for external scenes... well the result is amazing, but maybe playing a bit with ambient colours and shadows indensity was enough.. don't you think? well... I've tried dome also once on a outside scene... time consuming but excellent results :)
Thanks vasquez: I observed that the colors was kind of greyish/reflecting? even after much experiment with ambience (0-30%); no doubt that Bryce (the render engine) is getting too old so you have to use some extraordinary measures in order to have really satisfying result...hm, I should stop checking the 3DSMax gallery...:-))
Almost passed this up because of the thumb. Glad I didn't excellent and a vote!
Just like a page out of a story book. Fabulous castle and scenary work!
Excellent work, full of vibrant colours. I like the airship it gives the image a special touch.
This would make an interesting 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle...!
