uuuuhhhhhh the re-render button? you know what i just use the hot keys and thats ctrl+r... boy oh boy... i sound so stupid.... duh!

GOT IT! the uncontrollable force is electricity right? because it came from a man made source, cant be lightning... hope i got it right! great image!

wow! rayraz! i didn't know that my image has that effect on you! but im glad that you like it!... what i really would like to impart here is that although death is (sometimes) a scary thing... it is not that scary at all. Yes its lonely and sad, but then at the end of the journey, there is a bright light... that shines down on you (or if you lived a reaaaallly bad life a chasm of darkness will appear)... leading to another reality or sumthing like that... and to all who gave and left their comments thnx!

the guys up above know more than i do... i just wabt to say that you did a great job here... as far as im concerned this pic rocks! good job!

THIS IS A FORCE THAT NVER EVEN IMAGINED! I have to give you a big pat on the back! great idea!

heres something that i learned in bryce... in moving cameras to ground level, you don't move the camera, you move the objects (which is the ground) and post it as if the camera is level with the ground... and to add more spice to this image... do what ICM said, add streaming lights and tilt the camera a bit, then turn off the sun and add radila lights, try experimenting the best positionand you'll get a helluva great pic! the idea is beautiful!now to enhance it!

now this is what i call a render! you know what? now i have doubts that you really needed help, i mean the artistic sense that you have is stunning! good luck on the contest! hope u'll take a peek in mine, i'm posting it in two days, have to finish the poser figures

REASONS WHY A LOT (most people) OF PEOPLE LOVE BRYCE: 1: Bryce is cheaper as a program (soon to be phased out since corel is not developing it and is contemplating on selling their company) 2. ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY EASY INTERFACE! Darn! first time I saw and used bryce i already know how to use it... took me another 15 mins and i'm set to learn, create great images! while max... 3 months and i'm not even half way on the tutorial, and the MAx Bible? Ugh! total technicalities to the MAX! 3. Import models with ease... great lighting! fast posing etc... 4. more people (usually friendly ones) use it, and share their materials, skies etc. 5. We just simply love out little cute and cuddly Bryce, I love mine to the MAX! (no pun intended) I'm not agains any max or any high end user out there, i'm just angry at the ignorance that they have towards people like us, honestly i model using max or cinema4d to, but i never ever got egg headed and thought i was better that everybdy else, in fact the thought that i got was "wow! now i can share models to the Bryce Community, just like then sharing theirs to me....) tnx for all your responses... gud day

this is eyecon... all your sentiments are mine too... such comparison is indeed stupid... and it is true... its not what you have its how you use it... me? ill continue using bryce even though im learning max, after all, bryce is much much challenging to use...

i'm eyecon's best bud: comaparing bryce and max? are they crazy?, 8s like comparing a technical pen and an ordinary ball point? DUH! heloooooooo! analyze this....

a beautifully executed image... btw DC whats IMO? sorry im a bit ignorant on 3D jargons

im not an expert... but this is what i can say... usually, especially at high noon or somewhere near that, the brightness of the "outside" is very clear and crisp... maybe a few radial would help... nuff said!

now this is much much more interating than your other WIP! beautifully done... like they said, you can add a little Lens flare, and if you want rain... then you can do that at post work... no need to waaste render time for that... me i use Corel Photopaint for rain, and finish the post with photoshop... gud luck on the contest!

i dont really read that much, i only read fantasy books... execept for the LOrd of the rings... my favorites are the chronicles of NArnia (yeah i know, kids stuff)by CS Lewis and The Death Gate Cycle by Margarete Weiss and Tracy Hickman

this is cute... i love it!
