I posted a WIP of this pic probably a year or so ago. I'm finally done with it I think. If you have any suggestions let me know. Took three seperate renderings to create the mobius effect and now I'm rendering at 3500 x 2350 to make it into a print...it's taken a while :)

haha not so you think I've been working on this for a year straight I kinda stopped using bryce while I was in school..so just started back up on it over the summer.

Well thank goodness for that.............I thought we had another Bryce addict for a moment. 8) I think it looks very good, the only thing that bugs me is that I think the blue light should be more diffuse. But if, after working on it for a year, you've had enough, then be proud and happy it's done. Cheers Catlin

I love how the dragon fades from texture to texture like that. Personally, i'd like to have seen more work done on the background (I'd like to see it in a nice nordic backdrop, big snow covered peaks) But this was your vision, not mine. Great textures and effects.

haha thanks yeah I would have kinda liked that too....I have such a hard time making realistic looking landscapes. That's what bryce is suppose to be used for yet I still have such a hard time with it :) haha oh well. I kinda wanted it outside but didn't really think of a snowy scene. That could be very cool. Thanks for the advice and about the blue...somehow I placed a light in the scene and then was gonna use it but where the default start location was was just below my water plane and it created that effect so I decided to leave it. Just thought it looked kinda cool and took away from the completely black background which is the one problem I also saw with this.

In that case if you moved the light closer to the water or toned the brightness down it might look better. But just ignore me if I'm being a pain, it's your vision and that's all that matters. 8) Catlin

You're confusing pain with pleasure, Slakker.
