That does not look like it was your first image. WOW. Did you actually make the ship all the way to the left? Impressive. You have a very creative mind. Keep it up! -Adam

Thanks! And no, that's definitely NOT my first image!!! Check out www.brycetopia.com to see more if you want... Yes, those ships are 100% bryce, and no premades either. Took quite a while to do but i think it turned out rather nicely...

I am a composition freak, Gecko, and you have the knack of composition for high three-dimsensionality. I wonder if the background and the lighting could be made to strenghten the depth you've got out of the perspective and arrangement of objects? I see you have darkened the central distant depth, but I wonder if lighting and atmosphere can deepen the perspective in other ways?

I'm not sure what exactly you are talking about... you see the nebula in the background is a picture off of NASA's website- so if you're talking about a more 3D cloud effect that might be difficult. On the other hand, with the new volume presets out... Gecko

Got it. Your composition and 3-dimensionality is so strong, Geckothat's a complimentyou go beyond the background picture. Volume maybe. It's really good, and the modeling in Bryce is something else.

Thanks a bunch! I think it's the lighting that brought it out so much (no falloff on a spotlight i think, or is it an ambience of 100? i don't remember... ;). I really don't know how i do that modeling- it surprises me most of the time ;)!
