Hi hi..its me the amateur renderer again hee hee. I just thought I'd post this little piece here, for the mild amusement of you folks =) I was thinking of having purple smoke coil around the egyptian goddess figure in the center, yes..preferably purple..that seems to match somehow..but I can't figure out how to do that. Even in Photoshop its just not..not coming out right.. Actually the whole thing just has a very..unfinished feel to it..but I just couldn't..get it right in my mind. I don't even know what its supposed to represent really..heh heh..its from the half remembered parts of a dream I had. I need coffee..=) *waves*

I've had dreams like this too :) You could try building a coil out of primatives in Bryce (and I think there's a coil/spring in the create menu somewhere). Then applying a volumetric texture to it. The portal-type thingamabob behind the Egyptian figure is very impressive (although IMHO it does appear to extend into the ground). It could do with being moved into the background a little, or made smaller - but hey... this is just a dream right? Drop on over to the Virtual Tavern, you might like to try there for some ideas.

hey...! its a trans-dimensional portal, it can appear anywhere it wants to ;) but what are those things sticking out of the egyptian figure's head? ears? how come they're uneven? now that would drive me nuts. :)

So thats what my Posettes get up to when I'm not looking :) heheh thanks astewart, nice one PhilC
