don't say that, my skills aren't good, but I figured it would be a great learning experience.  Not to mention that you don't have to model the whole thing.  You can model a body part ( head, leg, hand, foot, upper body, lower body) whatever you want.

LOL...thanks guys for the comments...and don't worry about being a little dramatic man....I fully understand...we all getting like that sometime or another....about the hand though....let me say that you're in luck.....it isn't as hard as it seems....I'll try to throw an explanation about how I did it.....just let me know what exactly you would like to know....this way I wouldn't be giving anyone any un-wanted info.....PeaCe.... BTW....the software I'm using is Maya....but that should be a problem cause no special techniques was used....( it's all modified polygons primitive objects ).....

for a better idea....

sounds like a really good idea....here's my model that I've been working on ( actually, I'm done with the legs, feet and torso, it's just that it would take a long time to render it all ).....and all I have to do now is the head....which I'm doing now as I speak/write....

thank you guys...doom you did a good job explaining it to me.....and that site you recommended helped alot...thanks jade....and the materials are nice as well.....

this is good work man!!.....are you sure that this is your first image?........I'm not saying that you're lying or anything.....it's just that this pic is really, really good for your first time.....I know my first didn't even come close to this.....love the robot...keep up the good work...!!

I think it would be wonderful to intergrate lens flare in the new version of bryce....lets hope that the people that make this product thinks the same way we do....and while they're at it....why not produce a better modeling system....bryce will become more flexible if these changes were made.....just a thought....peaCe...

This question has came up before....even I wondered if it could be done...(cause I just love lens flares).....but I don't think that bryce can accomplish this....sorry about that man....I guess you'll just have to take it to photoshop and add it there.....unless you're talking about animating....in that case you're really stuck.....but who knows....maybe someone figured out a way to do this somehow.....but as far as I know, you can't.....PeaCe....

hhim na hhhim na....hin na hin na.... does that help?.....lol.. well first I would like to say that I just LOVE that castle....did you do that yourself (or did the names you thank responsible for it ?).....okay now....like what jade nyc said....the mountains need some work.....not that it's a bad pic or anything....it's just that the color for the mountain is a little odd in refence to the dragon and the castle....darker colors should do the trick.....or perhaps changing the scene from day to night would probably help as well.....and a story might help too....(people runing, maybe another dragon that's protecting the castle, trees, other houses)....but of course you know this already so I don't need to bore you with it...(sorry if I got carried away)....another than that it's nice.....and keep us informed.....PeaCe P.S. like yourself I'm always glad to hear what people have to say about my work....so if you're interested...you can visit my site.....just use the link that's provided.....I've only had bryce4/poser4 for 6 mouths.....so be nice :).....Bye....

cool....I would love to learn max.....but it's to hard for me at the moment.....so I'm trying my luck with Rhino 3D....and things are going very well.....it's a lot better( nope, sorry) easier than max....and it sure beats trying to model things in bryce (bryce is a very nice app, but can only go so far with modeling).....great for rendering though....anyway man....keep up the good work.....and check out my gallery.....(use the link above)...let me know what you think.....PeaCe.....

lol....very funny....I know poser is great and all but not that great.....nice model though.....( oh yeah, I said that already )

very nice work.....what program did you use to accomplish this?......don't tell me poser....
