Description
"Do you remember the thrill of opening birthday presents as a kid?
We were all kids that day when we signed for a brand new XM-64 exploration vehicle, resplendent in its factory finish. The first ten minutes was spent ripping off the "do not remove" stickers that covered every door, window and port.
How naive we were that day, believing the training vids and the promises of adventure, unaware that in five days time, we would be fighting for our lives on the hell hole of Hycaron II..." - Cyana Bristo, Mission Specialist.
Calling this a Bryce image probably violates the advertising standards legislation of several major industrialised nations.
Everything except the walls, floor, lights and atmosphere was created in Truespace and Poser. Scene assembly, texturing and final rendering in DAZ3D|Bryce.
Thanks for looking and any comments that you have.

The model is impressive, the entire scene even more so. Excellent work!
Really impressive stuff Mark!!!! Outstanding!!!
Excellent modelling work and great render!
Impressive work,excellent model.Don't bother about an images parentage:poser,Truespace,whatever?Rendered in Bryce is pedigree enough.
Great looking machine but I bet the gas-mileage is awful!
That has turned out great mate :)
you've definetely brought it home with this one. being a modelling fanatic, all i can see is the explorer. and is it ever so sweet. excellent work :)
It's a great model and deserves to be in a load more pictures.
This what I call a picture out of this world , Excellent modeling. the whole thing is perfect. V
Excellent modeling! I like this mashine!
WOW! terrific machine. Definately need to see a lot more of that one. Any thoughts about posting in either free stuff or sell it? either way you have a winner. Love to see your interior layout too. I wonder if you could hang a battle mech or two on the outside rear or top ... VOTE. Thanks for sharing. :-) Dwayne
Now that's what I call heavy-duty! It's impossible not to imagine the deep, rumbling whine of the drive. The boarding ramp is a real invitation to tumble in, go for a spin in the wilds, and get some dirt on those treads. Another superb Hirst creation; bravo!
This is superb!! I had seen the wip and was waiting for the render. V
Wooohhoooo dogggiiie!! Great little ride you've modelled there!! It's incredible. Way to go! Over the top! Need more compliments..... Fantastic!
Very impressive image! The vehicle conveys a great sense of mass and power; the "hangar" interior provides a believable space, scaling the vehicle and human nicely. Well done!!
