Been rather busy, but after tea, a little idea occurred to me - so there goes the evening.
Wings 3D project - wings mobius cluster recipe - by David Brinnen
First render Bryce, second Octane.
Just a simple horse
A Small Metal Universe. My first abstract effort ever I think. The weird shape was made in Blender, the rest is Bryce primitives. Definitely worth clicking to see the full sized image.
I included the render report because it surprised me a little, the number of reflective surfaces made me think it would take an age to render; the statistics for the rays intersected etc. are high enough. I was also browsing the web when this was rendering so it would have been even quicker if I'd left Bryce alone to get on with it.
@Horo: I remembered the talk about adding transparency to imported leaves, and I thhhiiinnnkkk I tried that. I'll have to give it another go to make sure.
@Sean: Thanks for the information.
@Trish: Nice stead. Also appears to be a meeting of the minds.
@David: Great object, and real good video. Both of those images are really nice, but I love the glass look from Octane.
@Fire Angel: Like what you've done in that image. My curiosity is what's happening further back, maybe a different document setup so the background can be seen better?
Worked through David's interlocking rings tutorial and was surprised when I was able to get something similar. I was playing around with the rings and decided to first give an abstract a try. The one below is OK, but I'll give another one a try to see if I can get a different affect. Then I'll use it to try something else.
@David - Mind boggling shape. The Octane render is only better because the object is glassy, shows the shape better.
@Trish - nice, I like the barn.
@Fire Angel - welcome to the realm of abstracts. The possibilities are limitless.
@GussNemo - that one looks really nice.
Concerning the Xfrog tree foliage, perhaps the picture below helps. If the texture alpha channel (centre) has a shape, enable Blend Transparency and put a dot in Transparency. If the alpha channel is fully white as in the texture example below (trunk), do NOT set transparency. You can also see it in the preview whether you have to set transparency or not. You have to select each individual mesh and check. It's a bit tedious but worthwhile.
More tangled colours and shapes, Bryce and Octane.
Wings 3D/Topmod project - double cross mobius - by David Brinnen
Edit - and another - just keep having these funny ideas.
Wings 3D project - compact mobius pair - by David Brinnen
Here i'm.. It's been a while i did my last post at daz forum and i'd like to share with you my pictures so here are some of my renders. I let you appreciate.
Some of you have already seen "Cottage" and "Windmill" at Bryce5 galerie. I'm glad to share my work with you and to look at all of yours.
@David - very interesting models, not something we see everyday.
@c-ram - April Forest and Majestic Lake are absolutely awesome, Marco. I've seen the others already. Now, tell us, are the new ones true Bryce renders?
Thank you horo. Yes, autumn forest and majestic lake are both true Bryce renders. Autumn forest is using Dan Whiteside special fog to produce god rays into the foliage. The ground is cover by some trees with autumnal leafs for texture.
Majestic lake is using David grass technic.
very nice C-ram!
No matter where you put the camera in that chamber some parts of the image will have obscured and tiny details, it's part of the plan for the image. Some parts look huge, some are tiny, the contrast in size is an additional element in the composition like the colour and tonal contrast. I may try something a bit more uniform at some stage.
Yes I had that too. If you have the system memory you can set Bryce Large Address Aware and that will help with this.
Well done on following the tutorials!
Rareth also, and you seem to be getting better looking results out of this effect than I am at the moment. Here's another experiment based on this theme. As you can maybe detect I'm still questing for a faux SSS to work within Bryce.\
How'd you get the pearl/iridescence?
How'd you get the pearl/iridescence?

If you want pearl/iridescent effects.
Breathtaking renders C-ram. You have really pushed Bryce beyond what I suspect many people would believe was possible with Bryce. The complexity is stunning and yet everything looks integrated and nothing looks out of place. The grass recipe works well, but it must have been expensive on render time! Thanks for posting your images here, now if DAZ 3D could manage a gallery, that's where they should be!
@Horo: Thank you for that information. I do know how tedious it can be looking at all the individual leaves, I view a few the first time I downloaded them.
@David: Great looking objects, and images. What I'm scratching my head about is how you made the object in the first image. And two more videos to gander.
@c-ram: Gorgeous images. Like miniature oils.
Played around, again, with the interlocking rings. First image I increased the MRD to get the extra line of interlocking rings. The next three are the interlocking rings inside a sphere. While not really dramatic, they are kind of pretty. All three had post work done in GIMP to add contrast and increase the color of the last three.
i mean this
btw, does bryce supports sss?
@ Sean : Thank you.
@ Guss : Thanks a lot, well you're not the first person that tell me my pictures looks like oil painting. Nice work on you abstract pictures, keep going this way, I really like them all !
@ David : Thank you very much! You're right, the render time are pharaonic for all of these renders.. about 1 to 3 weeks (i know i know, i'm crazy..). I've got two computers, one to built my scenes and the other to render them. It will be great if DAZ3D could replace the gallery in a next future like it was before.
Everyone has really nice work here I am almost afraid to put my new experiment up.....deep breath......here goes...Hes called Blue Roan
@GussNemo - nice ringy-thingys.
@c-ram - I suspected that the new ones are Bryce renders like the previous ones were, but I had to be sure. It is amazing what Bryce can do if it is wieled expertedly. Three weeks was well worth the wait. My max so far has been a week. As for the galleries: they will come, work is on the way. They will be different from the ones we had before.
@bullit35744 - very nice river and trees. But I'm not sure, it looks rather like a photograph with Blue Roan put in front of the billboard.
@c-ram: Thank you and you're quite welcome.
@Trish: Love that image. I was trying to come up with critical comments, but can only say, as I told c-ram, that image looks like an oil painting to me. Trees are gorgeous, water is fantastic. And I guess I should say the back side of that horse looks like the back side of a horse. Thank goodness it doesn't have it's tail up in the air. :).
Thank you horo
Guss; the tail might go up any minute don't stand too close....LOL
Last one I pulled another all nighter got to get some sleep this is the final of the one earlier......Trish
Horo this is a good news ! Daz3d need some galleries to keep showing there softwares capabilities.
Well, if you like me to show one of my file scene to let you look at it, it'll be a pleasure. I just don't know how to send it to you (maybe a dvd by postal way will be the best way because of file size. All of my scenes are about 700-900 Mb). Just tell me by private message, i'll be proud.
SSS is not an inbuilt property, I'm sorry to say, but even when it is, it is a very tricky thing to set up for a human figure.
If you want to simulate SSS, I have made some experiments and provided some guides.

that's a beautiful image!
i mean this
It appears that this is the figure's problem. Meshes not high res enough.
@Trish - nice pose of horse and dog.
Busy weekend (again)... Had time for another simple(ish) Doodle.
Having said that Xfrog's Weeping willow takes an age to render therefore this was 6 hours... luckily I was out as it rendered.
The Weeping Willow does look great, as the sky and all the rest does. This tree has those transparency leaves, I take it. And that may be the reason for the long render.
Yes Horo, transparency leaves and tons of them... Layers upon layers. With it only in the mid distance, it's high detail isn't really noticeable. I've decided that I'll only use it in future if it can be pushed right to the front with the majority of it hanging off the side, out of shot. :)
@David Brinnen, c-ram, Dave Savage, bullit35744, & GussNemo - Awesome stuff here! Wow! Very inspirational works!
