Just an image i've been setting up for a couple of days... Everything is modeled in Rhino, except for the Statue and for the steps, from Poser and Bryce respectively. The entire interior was modeled in Rhino, and imported to Bryce for texturing/rendering. I've learned a lot in the past week, working on this setup. BOth in Rhino, and in Bryce! It's about 25% of where I want it to be, but I thought I'd post and get some feedback at this point, especially considering the other interior modeling going on around here! Vastness is the goal, it's not too easy but lighting is the key to that goal, far as I can tell... I'll post some of my personal revelations whilst slaving over this project, any feedback would be appreciated? Things you like, or don't?

One major leap I had was CANDLES! Candles, of all things, ever-elusive to me. This one modeled in Rhino, and rendered in Bryce, with meat-ball flames and a radial volume... The cool part for me isn't the model, or the flames, or the radial material, but the candle material actually looks, well, like a LIT CANDLE! (doesn't it...?) At least until the base, which is easily corrected by a well-placed metaball (unnecessary at the angle I'm shooting the scene, so far)...

Looks great! How about saucers or something for the bottom two candles to drip into? It doesn't seem right for them to be sitting on the floor like that. Great compostion, modelling and idea, Shadow.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

(nods to Tjohn!) Aye, I need to add many, many candles and put trays or saucers for them and stuff... Good call. YSVRY, I just meant a radial light with volume-visible, it's set to squared falloff which produces the candle's fade from light to dark...

"but the candle material actually looks, well, like a LIT CANDLE!" Yes sir Shadowdragonlord... it certainly does look like a lit candle. Nicely done. This is a very interesting image. Looking forword to see where you take this one. 8) Wade
