hmm I hope you really wanted to know and are not just looking to slam anyone who responds.. I will give you the benefit of the doubt but I swear if I get roasted I am deleting this response ;-). Okay first off a BIG part of Bryce is texturing .. texturing is what gives life to most images .. Your images are yes very well modeled .. beautifully lit and very boring .. they are flat .. I am not sure I understand why you put the effort you do into your renders .. and yet do not go the final step and use that same talented eye to create textures that will give life and breath to your renders.. you do not have to use anyone else's textures if you are trying to do it all your self .. create your own. It takes a great deal of skill and technical expertise to create Bryce materials and textures .. I have been using Bryce for years and still get major headaches in the DTE, BUT..Bryce is not the greatest modeling tool in the world .. (mind you sure seem to be getting amazing results) however it rocks when it comes to it's ability to create great textures. I really do think your work is wonderful now that I have given it a good look .. but it never caught my eye before and I think the only reason is as I said .. the images seem too plastic and flat .. you have created amazing models .. now for heavens sake get thee self into the DTE.. those models deserve it ;-). err and remember.. you asked..
