This might be a dumb question but "where or to whom" will we post final renders. Should we be sending our work and low poly renders to"?". Just curious since if I go and make something I'll want to know what to do after that and have not submitted in this forum yet.

Wow! Looks like it is going to really take shape in a cool manner thats for certain. I didn't see the Challenge area... better go look.

Way cool design! I like it, nice work.

Did you try saving a "copy" of the original as a new name, "open that" and then export for the web?

Looks like you have the shape working up just fine. Now for the good parts.

Thanks for the info that Susan is still around. Back when I had questions to ask she didn't answer the e-mails that I sent from the then active companion site. Though you cannot use trees from version 5 remember that you can mask out photos of real trees and use those in Bryce 4 and can import trees say that have been exported from Carrara as 3D models.

The book is fantastic. They really did a very in depth study of the application. The only thing I have become disapointed in regarding either Bryce Real World 2 and 4 are that the companion web sites and resources that way are not happening. Antialas dropped from the world and she isn't to be found anymore too (Susan Kitchens) that is. Sorry to read that you suffered an injury of that order and am certainly hoping that you are much better since then... The terrain and Tree Labs in version 5 are a fantastic addition enhancement but hold onto version 4 since the render times are much faster for the most part. Good luck with what you do!

You can't that I know of... Only still images that I can think of. Strata Studio pro can do rotoscoping which is what that is called.

Not a bad job at all... I suppose that the ornamental details of the roof overhang will be one of the hardest challenges right? :) It certainly looks as though you did a fine job of the windows.

Well as a fractal artist for a number of years I have only actually posted them on my web site and here at Renderosity however just like any image art form they have a place. I see the opportunity for the sale of a fractal image as a unique item. But like you said about the publishers tastes in fractal imagery that is a fickle subject to ponder just like entering "any" artwork on a regular basis in a gallery or competition event. It just depends upon the people that it is exposed to at the time and where or in front of what type of audience. I would suppose that most importantly a little thought and planning would have to come into play in order for an artist to get that form of digital art out in front of the selective audience for the purpose of enticeing them to buy. But now-a-days fractals are recognized as anything from cloud formations (objects from life) to 3D layered digitally produced mathmatical algorithms on the scientific level. Then you have fractal geometry translated to pixel color content that look more like they are from the 1970's in the software engineering class but original never-the-less. And then fractal art only stands on its own if it isn't taken to other degrees, there are excellent examples that show up everyday on Rederosity that the artist has not only generated a fractal geometric image in liear and non-linear form but has also encoorporated that into an entirely different thing like any artist might utilize objects, images of objects or images from life in Photoshop collaging all of the parts of which combined still reflect the fractal origins yet dirive at a separate artistic end visually. In my personal opinion thought the word mainstream would actually cause a slight jump back to earlier fractal visual manifestations since they are the most familiar to the "mainstream" in an instant's sence upon sight anyway. The only difficulty with that perspective is the fact that image size and resolutions were slightly limited up until the past five years or so and therefore a lot of it still remains unpublished unless someone gains access to original project files and or renders that can "by plugin" digitally expand the render to print resolution sizes. Congratulations on getting on the 2005 fractal calendar cover. I entered in one opportunity maybe it was the same and tried submitting an ArtMaticPro fractal sample but did not make it into the selection. Its what the viewer at "the moment" likes that dictates the demand and that can vary like the changes in weather here in Colorado. :)

Hey I was wondering you guys how do we that visit the forum post images of the models that we build. < http://www.renderosity.com/gallery.ez?ByArtist=Yes&Artist=killer3d > You will se the latest post I have made yesterday of the tooling holder. Is this the only way?

Cool! :) Thanks for sharing your latest efforts.

You're doing it just fine... Remember... Please yourself "first" and all of the gratuity will follow. Believe me, thats the most important thing if you want to have fun doing it. If you practce thinking and going about it in that manner then you will always be satisfied from the beginning because you have accomplished something that "you" like and are pleased with. I promise you that all you have to do is "do it" and post what you are satisfied with and most everyone else will like it too. Nice job so far! :)

The dark version id really good and moody... All-in-all I feel that you have done a great job so far.
