I get exhausted just by looking at the process. I have a long way to go to get that structured in my scene-building. Very nice that you shared this thou,and have a merry x-mas.

A true artist who works so long and still finishes it! well done on a marvelous outcome. Happy Christmas for next year just in case your to busy!! LOL

Scenes like this are usually my personal favourites. Well made and with so many details, that you discover something new each time. Definitely worth the time it took to create. :)

Excellent stuff! ;-)

I agree Rudy. These sort of ad-hoc, build'em as you come, images are the most fun to make too. I feel they give you the most opportunity to do stuff that you wouldn't normally try to do and you can just keep jamming stuff in as you think of it. Stoner - I'm an engineer at heart and brain and not someone with a feel for art lol. Thus for me, the planning and structuring of these monstrosites is actually the easy part... the finishing (re postwork) and the making look good (composition/balance, dramatic lighting, colour pallette, ...) is the hard part.

dang..and the longest I ever worked on a pic was 3 days (an Escher castle..;) you are dedicated, at that..;) great work..my system @#$'s out at about 15 characters..you go..

Whoa. And you didn't say how big in MB was the final scene. Two or three gigabytes? Or you used the masks and postwork? Also, three robbies and a chair 90 MB? These guys need to go on a serious diet. S-E-R-I-O-U-S diet.

I love that fact that Bryce lets you do stuff like this. That would have been impossible in Poser. Try to render a poser scene with more than 4 figures with props, forget it. Thanks for showing us the process Flak.

Growing up reading MAD magazine, I remember scenes like this that were so loaded with detail, you could spend hours staring at them for new discoveries. Stunning work Flak. Merry Christmas.

I like it alot flak......sweet modeling.

Erlik - it had to be masks and layers - there's quite a few layers in the final .psd image. The office part of the image used about 1.5GB of memory in itself when all loaded (and the rest would've easily taken it over winXP's 2GB per application limit).

Bandolin - poser pops my brain. I can pose things in it, but there's no way my brain can cope with making a scene in it (though some people do some very admirable work in it, so it can be done). To me, the poser scene building space just feels crowded and small (no scientific information to back this up, purely subjective). And that "merge" command is a godsend - this would be damn irritating to do without that one simple little command. Thanks all.

go halfway..do the background in Bryce, and then use it in Poser. Do it all the time..;)

Woot, brilliant set-up so far!

Love it! Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Simply amazing!! Once again, I take my computer and douse it with lighter fluid...

Extremely impressive piece of work here. Much enjoyed!
