Ok, I'm finally done with Gecko's challenge to make a photorealistic scene in Bryce. Considering Bryce's limitations (it's **hard** to make something photorealistic with it!) and the limits of my own patience (admittedly the more constricting of the two) I did the best I could. I worked on this for a couple weeks, mostly trying to figure out what sort of scene I could possibly do (it was a pretty broad challenge, after all). Once I decided on what to do, I modelled each piece carefully in Rhino, using a tape measure to get the proportions on the door correct (it looks almost exactly like the door to my bedroom, only painted differently). The sunglasses were from an earlier challenge in the Rhino forum, but I loved how they looked, so I figured, why not? Oh well, I'm satisfied that this is the best I could do. I've only tried for the "photo-real" look once before, and that was using 3DS Max. Let me know what you think (but I'm not changing it), Rosh

I agree with Stormrage, especieally the money and the glasses! It's a great picture though... I don't think that I could pull that off in Bryce..... Tanja

Love it! great realism- only things i can see (minor details..) are that the coins seem a little too big and the transition from the wall to the floor seems a little odd also... maybe a wood border or something like that... but in any case (esp. since you're not going to change it :) ) it's a great picture!! Well done! -Gecko
