(Shameless self promotion inside) Hi again! I know that some brycers wonder if our favorite app can be used in a professional purpose, and the answer is YES! I'm proud to announce that the famous magazine (in french language) AIR&COSMOS has ordered me the cover of the special issue "Airbus A350". Most of the pictures that Airbus sent didn't fit exactly what the magazine wanted for this specific cover, so I've modeled the plane to have it with the right POV. The plane is modeled and rendered with Bryce, the background is an image modeled and rendered with bryce separately and the compositing is made with photoshop ( cloud painting, motion blur effect, engines heat effect). I hope you like it! Best regards.

Very cool and congrats!! And strange for me... I work for a company that makes project management software. Airbus is one of our key customers in Aerospace. I have met with them several times and seen pictures of their process...including pictures of fuselages riding on the back of trucks through the French country-side! So to see the airbus, which is built using our software, being built in bryce, software that I use... is mind boggling.

Small world! The wings for the new A380 (the super jumbo) are made just up the road from me! They are shipped to France for assembly. I tried to get them to model the wings in Bryce and e-mail them to France but they wouldn't even consider it! Congrats, Pidjy! Nice work if you can get it!

C'est fantastique! :-) I'd never say the plane was modelled in Bryce. And I know what Bryce can do. Really truly well done. How did you model the plane?

Fantastic work...especially the plane... I never would have guessed that it was done in Bryce.

@Erlik wings are simetrical lattices (map paint in photoshop from blue-prints) engines are made with torus, the plane body is a symetrical lattice too, ( based on a altitude mask of a cylinder and 2 spheres) then post worked in photoshop and re-imported as a terrain map.. and as its based on a cylinder altitude mask.. I got a perfect round shape!... and by the way.. the most difficult part to do was really not the plane, but the ground! as its a terrain and an lot of cubes and textures to get something "reallistic" ;-p

@TheBryster sure I get it! the magazine is available tomorow morning!

@everybody THANK YOU!!! your support is really much appreciated, and all the time I've been working on it I was thinking on showing it at the family here!!

Fantastic work Pidjy, my congratulations on a job well done. Your cover puts Bryce in an enviable and sought after spot.

@pidjy great work on everything in the image i really can't stop looking at that background its just fantstic how you have done that. I'm especially happy for you to be able to do something for a business. It is always great seeing you brycer being able to show your talents of to the world like this..

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

I tend to take Pidjy's word on it since I saw "Here they are" in his gallery,lol. Though, I must admit, I'd love to see the wireframe too,lol.

pidjy posted Fri, 17 March 2006 at 2:51 AM

Well in fact it look good on the cover because ...it's blured! but I swear it's nothing more than an allmost flat terrain and some cubes with textures. I will post a wire.

I've seen pidjy do some pretty amazing stuff in the past. If I weren't so egotostical I'd admit he is one of my Byrce heros. It was his spiral tower a couple of years back which spurred me on to investigate mutli-replication in Bryce. He and that guy who I used to argue with about multirep verses terain editing (whose name escapes me for the moment) have in the past been an inspiration. an abriviated list of others include chocole,Rochr,ICM,Flak,Agent Smith,Vasquez,Vile,Der Jimi and Stephen Ray. I would guess there is some sort of non-disclosure agreement going on there or I might be tempted to ask him for details too. - TJ
