Description
Heya all
Spacesuit and Michael V3 sets from Daz, figures posed in Poser. Terrain, rock, sky and entire scene rendered in Bryce (over 3 hours). Terrain's texture is a cropped image from the actual hi-res Moon texture. Very lengthy, difficult process with rock placements on the terrain (Bryce rocks are the pits but these'll do). Went through this while upgrading from Bryce 5.5 to Bryce 6.1. The only disappointed part, for me, is the lack of footprints from the astronauts walking around. Pretty impossible to create footprints on the surface in Terrain Editor when the size of the astronauts would not exactly be matchable. Oh, well.
Anyway, enjoy the image, harken back to the great film scene in "2001: A Space Odyssey", minus the actual spacesuits worn by the characters in the movie.
Two astronauts were discussing back and forth about the strange black object on the Moon but one immediately noticed their third colleague is close to the mysterious object and is about to touch it. What will happen next is a great unknown territory awaiting all of mankind, an evolutionary leap to the next stage.

Love the subject and good use of the DAZ space suits. The surface seems a bit glossy for lunar terrain. Your boulders look pretty good.
