All of my space images are created in Bryce 4/5 from scratch, all concepts and designs are by me. I try to use very little texturing instead actually drawing all the parts instead. Ive notice that a lot of people post 2 to 3 things a day. I render all my images at 1186X889 in size using the highest settings that you can use in Bryce. I do not do this because Im bragging but because Im trying to produce the best render possible. By using these settings my render time will vary from 8 hours up to 3 weeks. I guess what Im really trying to say is I wonder if anyone really understands what Im trying to accomplish here. These entire models are created exclusively in Bryce. Every little shadow that you will see is because of an actually render part not because of a texture that Ive used. At most there are only about 4 different textures I use and only one that would have any variation of shade in the texture, all others being solid colors. I try to depict as accurate as possible what an actual space vehicle would look like if viewed from that angle in space. I also try to stay with scientific fact and away from science fiction. So here my question to everyone, because of the time and effort I put into my images trying to be as accurate as possible why is it that when someone post a spaceship that they didnt even create themselves and adds a little color to the picture in space that everyone says this is the best thing sense the invention of the wheel. Please understand to each there own, Im not putting anyone down, art is in the eye of the beholder but I was wondering is my stuff just not that interesting? Ive always wanted to go into space but I realize that the closest I will every get to that is in my own minds eye. I just wanted to share my dream of what could be with everyone here. I feel that unless its something that looks familiar like it came out of Hollywood no one will really give any notice to it. Im not trying to complain but it would really be nice to know. Thanks for listening and viewing my work.
