It's a friday, and as dusk settles over this Texas town, I put my mind to thinking about the next Bryce challenge. Thanksgiving is approaching, here in the States, and even now the big Walmart store is decorating its' shelves with paper turkeys, autumn colors, and cornucopia. 

Many countries do have a Thanksgiving-like holiday. I think there's a Canadian one also a little before the American one. And there's a lot of possibilities

So let it be something that's dear to many of us: good food, good times, festive times, and a time of meaning. I am proposing "The Feast" as the next theme. 

What can you do with a theme like that, you might ask yourself. Well, for one, medieval feast, celebrations, a table of food, or a table of empty plates. Wine cellar, hunting party returning to the camp, ants carrying away the contents of a romantic picnic, Greek mythology, happy Vikings, the kitchen. Food, and lots of it, has a lot of possibilities. A great opportunity to use a scanner, model things.

What you all think?

Sounds like a great idea!  Anyone needing empty dirty plates come to my house; or better yet, send me your plates full of food and I'll empty them and send them back to you dirty for model making.

I'm thinking Klingons and Blood Wine here......................
Then there is always SG: Atlantis and feasting Wraiths..............
or even comfy chairs feasting on Heretics...............

I've tried to model a cooked turkey a couple of times and it always looked like cooked Gumby.

So what's the rules, comfy chair cannabilism aside? Imports, 2d images, postwork...?

I have no problem with images having imports, 2d images, or postwork. The finished product, though, must be a true Bryce render, and not something like a photo rendered in Bryce. No problem involving food from the freebie section, food converted from Poser files into Bryce, new models, or even poser figures. I do hope to see some good looking foods.

@ The Bryster: It would be nice to see a feast kinda setting from inside one of the passenger cars of the train you're doing.

Hmmm... I'm thinking a bunch of Lions feasting on a Fresh Kill.

Can always model various chemical models for various food stuff.. sugars, salts, etc. Feast on the microscopic scale kinda think.
