please save those tutorials! I'll use them a  lot, make them available someware please.

Well, here is the final image

Better isn't it?

For the courious one:
I'll add 2d-trees for the shadows on the forground, aiko's hair, i'll add lights in the sword and the hourglass, and changes the admosfere (volumeric wolds make rendertime endless)

Thanks for the help

I’ll worked a bit on the dinokonda texture,  maybe the head/body matches more now. Personal the frog don't work for me, but maybe that is just my lack of skills. I'll train that in some of my next images.
I worked also on the lights, this image is not brighten in an edit-program (The previous one was) but strait out of bryce (1 radial light in the pommel of the sword, 2 in the hourglass, sun low with 2 2Dtrees for the shadows to simulate the forest behind the camera).

My monitor isn't calibrated (laptop) so I have no idea how dark it will look on your screen. To dark, to light? At the crt-monitor at school it looks good. What do you think?

Tank you for the comments!

@Rayraz: You're right, it's to light for the forest where the scene is. I'll try to fix it with 2D trees behind the camera. The shadow the tree makes the scene a bit more realistic, unfortunate also more complex, and bryce crashes...
I'll try again and hold my fingers crossed. 

@Wildman2: I'll made the hourglass with supports, but it looks a lot better without them. : )
And how exactly would you place the parallel lights? I don't get that one.

Thanks for the tip, I'll love this pack
Only, I can't seem to find the purple suit in the second picture. Anyone a clue where I can find it? 
Tnx, boekenwuurm

Heeey fellow dutchie! which part of the netherlands are u from then?

From Braband, between Den Bosch and Eindhoven. Nice to meet fellow a dutchman brycer

Name: Boekenwuurm

Age: 19

Area: The Netherlands

How long have you used Bryce?: 2 years i think

What kind of art do you create usually?: Fantasy and realistic.

Would you ever move over to Vue?:  Vue? Maybe if DAZ in the future not release a version of bryce with someting like ecosystem.

What is your most favourite Bryce art that you have done and why? 'As sand through a hourglass' because it was my first bryce image that is good enough for posting, and i like the look of the glas and the fantasy style of the overall image. Also I liked the houerglass (love metabals) and my next image will have it again.

Quote - Bryce could definitely benefit from some modern updating, but it need not be any more complex.  Let's say, for example, you want to add an ultra advanced realistic physics option:  you can simply assign a material (stone, rubber, silk, water, dough, etc) to every object, then turn on the scene gravity, and with a single click everything should bounce, break, squash or spill just like it's supposed to.  Simple and clean; all you'd need is one extra option in the object property box and one in the scene render options.  Let the computer do all the dogwork... it can do 50 Billion calculations a second.

Do you have any idea how many time it takes to only let a computersimulation bend a object accurate? And how many polygons are needed to get a realistic result? The material kwowledge needed (young's modulus,  density, poisson's ratio)?  A profesional software we used at school (comsol multiphysics) can simulate bending a copper bar with only gravity in 20 sec. That only one simple poly with copper. The more flexible the material, the longer the simulation needs. Liquids are cpu-killers, I did a project with a slusing tank (8x8x8 cm) and takes a night to calculate. Breaking is even harder, beceause the material can bend first, and must have a critical breaking point. 
COMSOL can do this things, but you must say manuel where a mesh have contact with someting, otherwise it drops to the floor. It is a nightmare to work with, but it can do almost anything if you know your materials. ( The only thing it can't do is raytraycing, what bryce works with LOL)

So, in my oppinion, it thakes serval years before this kinf of physics will be emmbeded in any grapical software, becauce the cpu's aren't fast enough to simulate it all.

I can't instal bryce 5.5? I get the message
 "setup cannot write to the destination file C:programfilesDAZBryce 5.5BlackBox.dll"
What am i supost to do with this?

Analog-X, have you found a solution? When I try I get the same problem

Mine name is actualy an accident. When I make an gmail account, i want to use my dutch forum name, Boekenwurm, transtated bookworm. But, with thanks to my dyslectia, I typed 2 u's.  From that moment, I surf on the net with the name Boekenwuurm.
