Bryster: have you considered some form of professional help, or maybe some non-professional help.... or new glasses.. or different reading material... (I can't wait to see your image for this challenge tho')

far left, circles, great, How?

thats great, i am continually impressed at the way the 'shape' is being used, this one i really like for atmosphere. Only a suggestion perhaps softening the shadows on the ceiling.

The Girls are sexy but the Guys are Scary....

pretty

"Yes, Renderosity has my permission to use my artwork from my art gallery for promotional use only". rj001 (i also have some short animations if you want)

will the final DVD be for sale afterwards ?

oh and as for a name: i began with some old songs: "Bend me Shape me" or "Shaping all over" or "shape Render and roll", or even HAnk Snow's tear jerker " Old Shape". Guess we'll just call it "Shape Thing" nicely vague and mysterious. That's breakfast now to Do some work, (Whilst paging between Bryce and Paintshop running in the background). Richard.

Good Morning (Thats me just up and checking the forum - what with being on 'tuther side of world) i see a lot of activity on me challenge idea, great, i must admit i was kind of worried to begin with.... So to Agentsmith et al; the final wording: Here is a shape (insert picture here...) You can use it as you wish to create your Challenge entry, (e.g as a terrain, or texture or even building it as an object) - Please give details of how the shape was incorperated - The shape does not have to be the focus of the image but clearly included, e.g it could form the Texture on a wall in a hall - This leaves the feild wide open and will of course produce many varied images - The only stipulation would be that you post at least one message showing how the shape was modified/converted/used/built, and as an Old Bryce fan i would prefer Bryce only, But if you do use an import, then preferably something you have made yourself. Hope this is something you will enjoy. See you all at the voting. Time for a cuppa and a bacon roll.

Hey man i see Sunflowers blooming on mars........ I'm glad everyone sees something different. Like the Matrix idea Rayraz (Damn thats another one i cant use) i did Matrix trails in one of my 'gallery' mages way way back. think it was a cone with transparent stripes, if that helps.

Hello again, well i think the idea is a go-er, er will go forward, i think i'm pleased about this but maybe i should have thought it thro, as at the moment i'm stuck for inspiration, oh well, how many times has a winner won two months running anyway.... As for the comment on stronger language, i dont think i'll change the wording, as i am pretty easy going, and we have had a few strict ones lately, i'll leave it on your conciences. And yes i know i have 'Posered' especially in my winning entry so i cant be a hippocrite. As for Post, i rarely use much Post, a Blur or Halo here and there so i would say keep the Post minimal, a true Bryce image should show off the Prgramme at its best. (Sometimes i drop a cloud plane in front at 90degrees to fog an image - free tip there) So unless any real objections, perhaps Mr Smith can make it official. luv to all. Richard.

Perhaps call it 'The Shape Challenge' ?
