That looks awesome! Would love to know how you did it!

I am glad you liked it. Thanks. Nevertheless, I am also sorry, I forgot to mention this is just a fraction of a larger model of a shell with a weird glass texture applied and some fiddling with the usual Bryce features. Model is from 3D cafe, I believe. I guess it takes the magic away. I would love to post a very detailed tutorial here and boast with my skills, but they are poor and I just work around with what I know until something happens and I know I'm done. And many times I cannot remember what the procedures were and what I changed. In this particular image I was turning it around, changed viewpoints, applied different textures and the image in the middle suddenly appeared, simultaneously with the title in my head. From then on, it was just to make it look better. Unlike most of you, when I start I never know what I want to to. I do not have a goal, an image in my mind, maybe just an inkling. Or a challenge idea :-)
