I'm not sure if this works or not for March. Either way I'm pleased with what I came up with. The cave was created by intersecting two terrains in Bryce 4. The skeletons are from Poser. Lake of Fire is Clay's Volumetric fire.

Pretty darn cool.

Hey inyerface Bryce 4 users don't have metaballs, so they get to boolean.

Ok, then were are the boolean? :)

If you consider the cave a character I'll buy it. But it does have to be a character either metaball or boolean. And then posted in the challenge thread. I like this scene though.

Not being real up on the terminology, I was just guessing that the intersection of the two terrains (using one to carve out the other) was a boolean operation. That's why I wasn't sure if it qualifies for the challenge. s If not, no biggie. I had fun.

U dont have to use any bolean a terrain isnt solid by defult.

Hey this leaves us with Bryce4 and below out of the challenge! :-( Will booleans really be counted. Secondly can we get to use terrain lattices?

If the skeletons were created by booleans then this would qualify for Vile's challange. People who have Bryce 5 have to use metaballs to create their character and those with Bryce 4 and below must use booleans to create a character (not just using booleans in a scene). Hope that makes it clearer.

Roger that.

Here's mine for March, It's called Early Bird. Bet you can't guess what the metaball is. lol

One's for sure: the bird doesn't have to start the day hungry. ;)


Vile posted Sun, 10 March 2002 at 7:36 PM

I like both Stephen Ray! Boy you made it tough to pick which are made from metaballs...I'll go both!

ugh! that worm is too real for me - bleh! Good job Stephen Ray. I know terrains are hollow by default, but I've found that by using either a rock or another terrain, I have better control over carving out caves. It also allows me to apply different materials for a cave interior.
