I've never told that the new lighting tools, such as all the new features of Bryce 7 pro, are software bugs. They are just slow to render. Very very slow.
Bugs are others such as usual crashes on the instacing lab use and/or the many crashes during the normal use of the software. Also the HDRI illumination does not work properly.
Anyway I'm new to Bryce 7 pro, and as you say I must have the time to explore all the new features.

On tomorrow I will try to organize some WIP pictures, stay tuned! :)

Quote - Does your client require the figure to be in the pic? Or so prominent?
Does the pic need to be realistic?

No, the artwork is for a book cover and there is no need of realism, but there is the need to give the idea of an hollow world, and bisides realism is diffucult task.
The difficult is to avoid to have a "poster like" background, giving the idea of a depth of field in this unusual landscape.

Quote - I was just thinking of many old Sci-Fi covers from 50's-70's.  Many had pictures that were not true to reality.

Agree! :)
Thanks for the suggestions! :)

Quote - I The problem with a "Dyson Sphere" is that if it's huge enough you won't be able to see hardly a difference to our real world, that's the reason why some weird persons still believe we actually live in a hollow world ;)

True!
If we try to visualize a realistical Dyson Sphere from sea level, I think that we will see almost the same lanscapes of our Earth with a little difference: we will have the feel to be in a huge valley from every point of view of the Sphere.
The view start to change radically if we are on a top of the mountain with a very clear morning sky... ;)

Quote - Something to consider.....If you are on the ground of a hollow world, and you look up, if the atmosphere is the same thickness/depth as that of a normal 'earth' then you would see the opposing side of the hollow planet through two layers of atmosphere..........

Agree, but in my case the shot is parallel to the ground, and I have also the need to show this hollow world on the artwork, without chasing the realism at all costs... :)
It is a book cover... ;) 
Anyway is a not so easy task!

Thanks a lot for the URL! :)

The POW in Relics episode is from the sky. I think that if the POW was from the ground, the final landscape view is very close to my artwork ;)

I've forgot to say that the novel is "actually" set inside our planet Earth.
