"25 Years Before Bryce" in a small farming community, a Scout ship of Brycians visited with a science that could not be ignored. 2 mile tractor(only view from 2 miles), Meta-Cows, & fencing all in bryce. no post.

Great job. Them damn aliens better pay for all the soybeans or whatever that is they are cooking off.

Very creative image. One question though, did you mean for the back terrain to overlap the wheat terrain?

Looks like the cattle in the back field have been eating some of the crop back there. Hope the Brycians aren't into cattle mutilations like some of the aliens visiting Texas and Oklahoma. Great pic, inventive modelling!

I tried a few adjustments, and rather than leaving a dirt border with a completely semetrical line around the corn field I decided to leave it, Plus I've always been impressed how farmers will utilize every nook and cranny for the crop. It's probably just overseeding though. :) Thanx

Funny, how many of us think SF when using Bryce, which was primarily, as I understand, intended for creating realistic Earth terrains. Great idea, nevertheless.

When I purchased Bryce 3D I asked the kindly saleswoman if I could make buildings with it and she said yes that it was possable but that it was for landscapes. That first sold me on it and I haven't been too disapointed. ICM, I like this! (You might look for actual pictures of crop circles for reference for later on if you're interested. - some of them are quite complex.)Personally I think crop circles are an earth govt. checking the accuracy of satilite(sp) based laser weapons, but that's only my opinion. Looks Great, - TJ

TJ, Your theory sounds plausable to me, I've checked out crop circles for years. This pics inspiration came from 2 movies: Signs with Mel Gibson and StarGate with Kurt Russell. Signs is self explanitory, and Stargate was the movies thoery of RA. Thanks

ICM, I watch the "Stargate - SG I" series weekly and saw the movie. It is an interesting concept. I haven't seen "Signs" but Mel Gibson is one of my favorite actors so I'll have to check it out. Art Bell used to have all sorts of crop circle picts on his site, but the site is down now. George Noory might put them back up over time - you might check out www.coasttocoastam.com from time to time to see if you can find any picts of circles etc. - TJ

Stargate watchers can add these names to the household: Ra, Set, Hathor, Anubis, Apothis, Yu, Osiris, Mirti and Imohotep. Apologies for spelling.
