Well The challenge is to create an image modeled COMPLETELY IN BRYCE. (That is 100% Bryce!! NO imports of meshes, DXF models, Poser models et. al or putting in a pict object). To give it a bit more focus I suggest a theme based approach. I leave it up to 15th to decide whether challengers would like to take up the challenge complete with a theme or just have a 100% Bryce made image as a challenge! The theme I'd like to reccomend is "A Duel". The interpretation of a duel is left to the challengers! It might be a joust, a wild west draw, a duel in the sky, a space fight, a duel of wits, a bout of chess, a fight of music, a clash of colors, Gandalf v/s Balrog...!!!! Whatever, as long as it shows a contest between two entities ( of near equal strature, it can't be a fight against Nature, if you know what I mean) !. The image might be abstract, medivial, futuristic, fantastic...whatever! No limits to your imagination! So come ye all and let's joust in the Brycian arena and may the best Fun Win!! The whole Idea is to see how much we can push Bryce's capability to model in different and unusual ways. As the terrain modeller is one of the most important mean of modelling in Bryce, one can import grey scale image, work upon gray scale images in external editors (Illustrator, Photoshop etc). (Infact those of you who have Mac (I'm not one of the lucky ones :-(! ), there's a program called b-smooth (or something similiar) which helps you create smooth greyscale terrains. I'll be putting up resources for modelling in Bryce soon. Textures, effects (for eg. foley pro's effects) brought in is ok (As long as THEY ARE NOT THE PRIMARY ELEMENT of composition) Lets say you are showing two Gladiators fighting it out and you need a crowd of thousands! Well in that case you can either make an intelligent composition where there's a suggestion of a large crowd! Or you might import in pict objects to fill in the distant crowd! AS LONG AS THE GLADIATORS are done Completely in bryce and occupy a major portion of the composition and/or are the center of attraction! I'll also clarify here: Compositing is allowed! As long as its elements done within the same scene or for effects like depth of field, blur, motion blur, highlight, lens flare etc etc We know that Bryce can be glacially slow when you are rendering! So if you go around this by compositing then that isn't a prob. But you can't render a particular sky and composite in another object. Also neither will an image done in Bryce and worked upon extensively in Photoshop (clothes, hair, texture etc) be allowed. Look the whole idea is to challenge ourselves to stretch Byce's capability as much as we can!!!! You are of course free to rework and redo the image as you please to bring it as close to what you imagined it to be and put that image up in your gallery. But for the sake of the challenge, please try and stretch Bryce's limits! Hope that clarifies. Thanx to alleycat for helping focus the challenge!
