This is my first "real" attempt at combining Poser figures in Bryce. Any input would be appreciated. I've been hanging out here for about a month asking LOTS of questions, so I'd like to say "thanx" to everybody, and a BIG thank you to everybody who actually created some of the figures and props I used for this image!!!

It is a little bright for a dungeon type thing but is pretty cool ... Nice work

Not to bad...The scene is to bright for a dungeon. She looks great, nice work on her. Neal

I agree with the comments on the lighting, working on changing it now... anything else while I'm at it?

Glad to see another Bryce/Poser user. I do all my rendering in Bryce. Looks like you have the techniques down pretty good, everything looks really clean. One thing I would suggest to you is to work on your choice of textures a little better. You would be amazed how just changing the textures in a pic can change it's look greatly. Now here's a little tip for you, and this is totally my opinion and you may disagree with me. But, to me, the wood and stone wall textures that come with Bryce really bite. You can do MUCH better by using seamless webpage backgrounds that you can find free off of the net. These can be applied to any object or plane in Bryce and look a helluva lot better than the materials that come with Bryce. If you don't know how to do this or would like to see some of my work to see what I'm talking about drop me a line at autoloader@hotmail.com and I'll be more than happy to tell you what I know. Good luck with your future renderings. Autoloader

For a first try, You did very well, my opinions: I have to agree with the lighting, maybe a ceiling to block the overhead sun, or just disabling sunlight altogether, and place a colored light jell in front of the figures to give that dark grisly dungeon look. Ive got over two hundred Bryce textures on my site (Chemical Studios, on the right under resources)Including alot of god bricks and stones, and some really cool bone textures you could maybe use on the skeletons. Youve got a great start and cant wait to see the finale version. FastTraxx
