I never thought it would be so tough to choose a theme for the Bryce challenge. After thinking long and hard on a theme that would not only yield some great images, but test our creativity while keeping true to Bryce only images, I decided to go with Architecture and cityscapes/skylines. This could be a skyline/cityscape, or maybe the inside of a building or church. Maybe even a complex piece of machinery.It looks as though I set the rules as far as post work, and importing objects, so here is what I have always preferred…..

I would prefer that all architecture is created by the artist within Bryce using any building tools that come with Bryce whether it be primitives, terrains, trees, 2d surface, etc. etc.

I realize that this theme would generate a need to use a huge amount of objects which would undoubtedly slow down your renders, etc.. so although I would rather not see photographs of buildings applied to 2d surfaces to be used for entire buildings, as long as your main focus is modeled entirely with Bryce, the technique you use for the rest of the image is up to you.

As far as imports go….. Again, as long as the main focus of your image (architecture) is modeled with only Bryce, feel free to use anything else for your image.

Post work should be used tastefully. The over all theme here is architecture and cityscapes, so feel free to use post work for color enhancements, DOF, or creating textures

I hope this is not confusing. Feel free to reply and give me suggestions on how to tweak the rules, but as of now, this is what I have come up with.

Thanks again for giving me this opportunity!
