How would you accomplish this in Bryce 4?


SAMS3D posted Thu, 02 May 2002 at 4:17 PM

It isn't as hard as you might think, make a pattern from either the terrain editor or a bmp, then place your object on the land, the land being a positive first (change in the editor) the prints or object as a negative, then group together and it will subtract your object from your land. Hope this helps...Sharen

Hello everyone, I'm in a challenge posted in Rhino forum and would like to get information/materials..(photos, diagrams..etc) on the subject of fantasy air ships... like zeppelins and Joules Vern's type of stuff. I'm using Bryce5 to render, so I thought someone here must have worked or seen materials pertinent. Links would be very nice.... Tom271

Somebody has already posted this, so you might dig a little: The zeppelin balloon can be faked with the steel cage material in Bryce.

As you are modelling the zeppelin in Rhino, the material I would suggest for the "bag" would be the steel cage with the transpancy filter removed. This gives a nice plate metal material.

Thank you.... what I was looking for was design concept.. I can not recall with detail things like the design that was used in a Joules Vern's movie... you know..that waki 1890's flair look.. with the huge spinning wheels and steam coming out all over.. We don't know how it flew,,but it did.. maybe I need to look in some movie archive...

They turned out rather well, I think. Lots more to do on this image, though. :)

They did turn out great, Sharen
