The Bryce god lives in a shanty By the edges of the Free Lance Sea Some think him daft to ply his craft Employing tools constrained by rules That cause the average exporter to laugh

The Bryce god he is a painter
And a builder and a sculptor too
He models in joins boolean
And laughs at those who do suppose
This constitutes some kind of mortal sin

The Bryce god he is a wonder
Whose imagination knows no bounds
Width, depth and height, terrains and light
Maps to see through and textures too
He builds by day and renders through the night

The Bryce god builds many worlds
Many projects going at the same time
Youll often see double-you-eye-pea
Till mind and heart perfect his art
And posts it here on Ren-der-o-si-ty.

I decided the Bryce-god was a little critter inside each of us who finds neat things to like about Bryce. Things that vary from time to time. I currently am enamored with photo-textures but have always liked Bryce for light, water, reflections, and trans-maps.
100% pure Bryce, no imports outside of photo-textures.

The bryce-god himself, standing there at the door, is from an photograph that can be found in Doublecrash's gallery.

Many thanks again for allowing the use of the image!!

The man in the photo seemed to fit this place which REALLY reminds me of the workspaces of several Ukrainian artists I had a chance to hang out with when I was there.

Sorry about the longish post :)

excellent stuff

This is toooooooo good, I really like the natural feel of this image it's almost like a photograph.

it's amazing full of particulars and so poetic!

Claymor, this is absolutely great! You fit my grandfather's photo perfectly in the scene, whoa! How you did that? Very good use of materials, and the concept is wonderful. Poetic, as vasquez said. My compliments. Stefano

Beautiful work, I love every aspect of it. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but then again maybe you already noticed it. In your reflection in the mirror to the left you have a blooper. There is a double reflection of the einstein picture in it. Just thought I would point this little thing out because it is a truely great scene, and I would hate for you to notice that later on and ask yourself was that always there. Wonderful image truely one of the masters I think here. Congrats.

Looks like you plop rendered something in the area of the mirror after moving the camera around a little. Just plop render that area where the double Einstein is, it will go away. Very good render, BTW.

Hey, is that my "Bryce Wars" poster hanging on the wall?

Excellent work.

Perhaps the double Einstein image represents replication? If it doesnt then I suggest it does now, to save you reworking this. Theres a saying in the UK. Stonking. That`s like excellent to the power of 10. This is Stonking.

Very peaceful and contemplative. . . . as if while the artist is pondering new ideas for his work. . . . . . what can be by using Bryce as a new creative experience awaits him. . . . . anyone can learn to use a thing but to use it creatively is a skill. . . . . Excellent work!! as Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Excellent scene, Great studio to create in.

Wow...I'm impressed. When I first saw it, I thought it had to be a photo.

It looks like a young Edward Asner the actor.

Wow, very impressive.

WOW! Sure beats my entry!!! You did an excellent job! Your textures are perfect.

The double reflection of Einstein is actually caused by the fact that the edges of the mirror are beveled. Perhaps a bit wider than would have been optimal but beveled none the less. You can just see it in the bottom right corner.I was hoping for some odd reflections. I really like Sambucus interpretation that it represents replications so, yeah, that's it... :) And tjohn, sorry, it is the regular old Star Wars poster, though having seen yours now I would rather have used it!! After asking permission of course. Thanks for all your comments!!

I knew it was a beveled mirror edge. I really like the lights shining out of the draw and the water spilling from the pool. This really is a terrific image, and the man does fit in perfectly. If I had a studio, I strongly suspect it would end up looking like this. My living room already has half-finished projects all over it, but I try to keep it under control so as not to frighten guests. Lin

The man leaning on the wall 'God'? is really good! The Bryster

I like this a lot, good work.

lol... I wondered if roobol saw this... I thought of him and his technique when I first saw the guy in the image. very nice work.

I had actually meant to give roobol credit in the original post. It was after reading his tutoprials on photo textures that I was inspired to give it a try. REalllly good stuff there.
