This image is great! The lighting is right on, very nice! I think the bird works really well, (though of course, if you wanted to make it so people KNEW how big it was, you could put it in front of the trees in the background, so people knew it wasn't as big as the house. Yes, I think the house is too small, or the trees too big. (just look at leaf size to window size. And maybe change the scale of the water? (just so the waves weren't as huge, or maybe you want it like that) Great image

I am completely a Bryce purist. There is nothing in any of my images that you will see that was not done completely by me. (I even go out of my way to make it so that I'm not copying people). But that's because i'm obsessive about being original. But still, I have nothing against people using imported stuff, or free stuff, and especially not postwork. Really, I'm cool with whatever. The only thing that bugs me is when people feature ONLY something that wasn't made in Bryce, that they got in some freestuff somewhere, and don't give credit, and everyone is all going "oh wow! In bryce? You're amazing!" and they're in the hot 20 and everything ,and you're like wanting to yell at them, "Hey! Guys! They didn't make this!" But yeah. Let's all eat a twinkie Weiner Sandwhich.

Whoa! Thanks everyone! Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I didn't see it. Amazing that you remembered!

Flackish....hehe. I like it. Dude, we totally should have a "Brycean Dictionary" thread. That would rock! I love the rubble on the floor, it's a good detail, rather than just having the (very well done) scratches in the walls.

"pixar doesnt post-work,why should I have to" Hehe Hehehe. Sorry. That just struck me as funny. I don't know why.

My opinion of the Hot20 has always been, if I'm not in it, okay. If I'm in it, yeaho! But I try not to dwell on these kinda of things because again, even if I dont like a picture, I might be in the minority. It's just fun to be in it! I think you may have gotten the wrong impression Twisted Symmetry, (or just inturpretted things differently than I did). I don't think that anybody uses anyone's skill or lack of images as an excuse to put down the person, I think it's more of a coping/defense mechanism. Like, if somebody gives a comment like, "This image sucks! I can do better!" and you look at their image and they have the infamous chrome ball over ocean, it's kinda nice to have an excuse (albeit ,IMO, a good one) as to why you shouldn't really take their comment to harshly. Of course, phrasing is important too. I have never seen anyone get mad at anyone else here because they had an opinion. It's the way they present it. don't say, "This image is crap". Say specifics, like, "I enjoy the lighting, it really gives it a happy feeling, but you may want to turn off "recieve shadows" on the cube you used as the sky" See, I also gave a compliment! That way it doesnt look like I'm out to get them, just offer advice. The "I enjoy.......but....." is a good technique. Of course, I know some people go, "I'm not going to sugar up my comments. I'm gonna say what I feel! I'm not going to try to make the person feel good about their work if it's crap!" Well, I enjoy the fact that you're opinionated, that is a good trait, but you may still want to reconsider you're phrasing. hehe

Now, is this the Same Bruce as the bruce from the "Watchful eye" gallery??? (just curious) Well, what I think we have to remember is that many times we all have different ideas of great. I personally think of a well done piece of work as one with lots of detail, interesting textures, modeling, and lighting. But see, I'm kinda technically oriented! Many, if not most people value a picture more for the meaning behind it, and the emotion, or the feeling it portrays. I think this is the reason a couple artists are doing much better than we think they should. We look at the techinical side, instead of the meaning behind it. So what if images are made entirely of freestuff and default lighting, or things are not attatched to the ground? (oh well, I was TRYING to be subtle.) The feelings behind the image might hit some people right on. The coloring might remind them of a happier place, or whatever. I hope I wasn't too specific. Please don't hurt me. I respect everyone's images!

Whichever one you want! I personally always post in the Bryce gallery, just cause I like everyone there, ya know? I enjoy the community. As far as which gallery it should go into, I think usually it's the intent of the image. if you're trying to combine Bryce with a digital photo, it's not a mixed medium because the focus isn't really on the photo, it's on putting the Bryce work into the photo. However, I do also think that if you have combined photos with your Bryce, you should mention that you did that, so people don't get mad at you thinking you're trying to pull off a photo as Bryce, but hey, whatever you want! As the wise old man used to say, "It's a whole year later than it was a year ago! "

It's not just any bunny...It's a vicous FORUM THREAD eatin' bunny!

This is a shallow pond! (at least, that's how it appeared to me) so having something stick out would be fine. Though if you wanted to be sure people understood, you could maybe have a little sand bar poking up through the water so people know how shallow it is.

Congrats! mine is next Friday! Exactly one week! Make me a cake! Yeaho! Ian

What I mean is that...hmm...say I have one cube, then next to it I make a huge virtical ground plane. (an infinitly high and wide wall) and I give it a perfectly reflective surface. What I get is an image with what looks like two balls, when in reality I only have to keep the file size of one. Now say that I made another wall, at 90 degrees to the original. It would reflect both the original ball, and the reflection, making it appear that there are four balls, all next to each other. Now, let's make the floor reflective, it would reflect all the other four balls above it, and make it look like there are 8 balls. Now comes the tricky part! If we put up another mirror right above the balls, parallel to the ground, the image would be reflected back and forth, creating an infinite number of balls in a tower! (have you ever been in a bathroom with a mirror on one wall and the wall opposite from it, and it looks like there are millions of you when you look at yourself? It's like that.) Then, you set up another mirror, parallel to a different one, and you get it reflected forever in TWO dimensions. Now, if you set up another one, so the ball is entirely surrounded by balls, what you get is an infinite number of balls in every direction! I hope that makes sense.

Aww! You know my real name! I feel so happy!!!

You can not save objects created with Bryce shapes as anything except for Bryce objects! Sorry.
