Hi Gang I hope everyone has had a great weekend. Well, I have been trying to get this image right but it really seems to lack something and I dont know what it is. One thing is the containers that the beasts are in, they do not to show the glass but, it is there and have tried different lighting in D/S which worked but it seems not to show it in Bryce. I've tried adding the Bryce lights but they seem very strong even when turned down to 4% and still no show of the glass. I would like some help from you guys/galls to throw some of your ideas to it please. Thankyou. Marc

wow, real old SF! For your glass I'd try to increase reflectivity and refraction. You could try to increase the depth blur of the scene too - this enhances the dramatic sense of the corridor.

Add a very light gray to the volume of the mat, or 1-3% reflective (in the DTE), that might work. Cross Posted

Great scene. Try different types of glass. To add something to the over effect.....try some distance blur, (the back ground slightly blurred). Preferably in your editing program VS rendered. Rendering a DOF blur in this would slow you way down. Check out this gallery for technique & inspiration. jjsmlee Looking forward to the fini. ICM

@Matteo. Thankyou and Yes, it is another line I shall try. All this is such great brain food. Thankyou :) @George. A good point and I will try this too, so many ideas can be had there (DTE)Thankyou :) @Rod. This is one thing i will try and Oh! I've been to that link sooooooooo many times as well as many others including yours. It does help me when brain isnt in gear! Thankyou :)

Maybe some atmospheric effects? Great scene..

great scene, love the way you used the Scythe(1st creature) one suggestion i would like to add is, try using a small radial light set at about 5-7 just infront of the Scythe to remove most of the shadow from around its head.

Wow, really nice scene! I like the color scheme a lot. All the details really show, too. The only thing I don't like is how the guys look like they have no shadows. I know Bryce is sometimes bad with shadow definition, but it looks like he has none. I really want to see the finished one!

Excellent work! Look forward to seeing it completed.

Thanks you guys for your help. On the shadows, it seems that Bryce does take the shine out of Poser lights when imported, its a shame because the glass was in view so was the shadows. :( I think a complete redo of the lights is due and then some of the details mentioned by your good selves is attempted. Thankyou again. Marc :)

Very nice modelling & cool lightening!
