Here's the challenge:

Create a scene from scratch, render it, post work it; all within a 15 minute time limit.  Then post it to this thread for all to see

Simply, huh?

The rules are:

No pre-made object imports (you can assemble/boolean your own object if it can all be assembled and rendered within the time limit).  Examples, make an object or terrain in a 2d editor or other program like Wings3d or Sculptris then import to Bryce for final render.  Just remember the clock starts when you start the first key click and the timer runs until you have the finished product.  The total time for everything can not exceed 15 minutes.  You are on your honor for following the time rule.

It may take a few practice runs but that is okay as long as the posted image was started and finished in 15 minutes.

No deadline to this challenge.  Any genre.  No limits on number of entries.  No size constraints as long as it will upload to a forum thread.  Just Bryce it, post it and admire what others have done.  

Get off your smart phones and Bryce something!

 14:50 from start to finish including  4:15 render time.

Lol...just seeing thread as I am headed to bed right now but tomorrow, during my lunch...IT IS ON!

Quote - Even though I had it planned in my head, time FLIES when you only have 15 minutes.
My stopwatch said 14:43 at the end of the render time of 3:07. FUN!

I know exactly what you mean AgentSmith. I was panicing just before hitting the render button. Good challenge though. Thanks skiwillgee.

Dang it!  Why did I say 15 minutes?  I'm trying.

Yup, it's frakking HARD, lol!

AS

Well mine has been 4 days so far... (15 minutes!!! - that's ridiculous! There's just no way!)

Okay, a completely different scene, wham bam, thrust everything in, press render and.... pray.

started at 4.04, finished at 4.15.42 with a 00:36 rendertime, so that's 10 mins 42 secs. Phew!

I tried this 4 times before I got it down enough - I would keep playing with another tower, and another and another... half an hour later I remembered it was supposed to be just 15 mins. so I stopped and started afresh... 3 more times, I kept forgetting what I was doing and where things were.

Cool Fran!

I think I got another in me. If I'm right about where some presets that I have in mind and my quad core can render it in time, I might be able to pull off an actual Bryce landscape scene.

AS

Single terrain with a few clouds (spheres). Yeah, if I didn't have presets waiting for me and a four core cpu for rendering, there would have been NO way I could have got this done. (rendering took 5:20 at 1600x900)

Thanks for the exercise!

This took 14Min. 14sec. ... 3 metaballs, 2 spheres, 3 radial lights, 1 sq. parallel light

Whew.  

I'm still trying to get something out of Sculptris and rendered.  Fingers crossed on that.

Final product is one 2d plane, two duplicate lattices, one sphere, one light. 

Applause to Orbital, Fran, AS, mtnman and stuartb for taking on the challenge. Those are some awesome ultra-quickies.   Remember this is a forever-open challenge.  All you lurkers, beginners or expert please join in.

Some nice renders here considering they are only 15 minute creations.

Anyone else out there ready to take up the challenge?

Great tree vangogh.  Where is this, I'm needing a Christmas tree for the house!

Wonderful image, Van Gogh!  Love It!

Stuart I love that terrain texture. Great for a 15 minute render.

Thanks very much wscottmisd. I thought there would be more entries than the are.

Although it is a bit of a challenge.
