That is really Cool! I love the textures and his belly button! Be sure to put it in the in the challenge thread (I think they have to go in there to be counted?). Great Work!

Hi, I already thought someone would ask for some facts on this model. :) The alien has +/- 4300 metaballs and 4 spheres. It has a file-size of 81,8 MB. The rendertime on this image was 7:58 hours at normal AA mode on my AthlonXP 1800+. Saving the model takes 15 minutes(!). I think I modelled this alien 2.5 times, because my computer often crashed before I could save. Metaballs seem to be an instable element of Bryce 5 when usen in large numbers. Thanks for your positive response on my work, Rayraz
