I give up... I've fretted about this for almost a month now... early on I toyed with a sci-fi theme, but draculaz' impromptu challenge changed my mind on that one. Then I thought...'what about a photo-real challenge' since several are playing with HDRI/GI techniques, then I saw pidjy's latest effort and I thought 'maybe later' ;) So, here goes. "A New Beginning" Theme/title of the image should be "A New Beginning" (or "New Beginnings"). Images should reflect this theme, though subject matter will be left to each artist's discretion. I was going to limit imports of objects and images, and have people rely on Bryce's inherent abilities... then it occured to me that, although Bryce does contain some powerful tools, the abilities to import objects and images (in the terrain editor and for texturing) are also inherent to the program. Therefore the only limitation will be NO POSTWORK. Pure Bryce render's only (signatures and jpeg compression will be the only postwork allowed). I thank everyone who gave suggestions earlier. Questions/comments are welcome. Happy New Renders!
