wow wow wow...superb.....good job....Bravo*****.

keep on brycing I cant see nothing wrong with your engines,

Although it was in no way as classy as its forerunner, the movie 2010 gave those of us who saw it at its original release, a deep and in some ways cautious sensation about the moon Europa. It remains with me still. In viewing this piece I am cast back to those days when the Russians seemed like the bug-eyed-monsters of 50's science fiction and the threat of total annihilation from nuclear weapons hung eternally over our heads like the sword of Damocles. The possibility of life existing (or as was represented in the movie, being sheltered) there was remote but enticing, yet seemed only a fantasy. These days the likelihood of Europa having a liquid, nutrient rich sea seems to be growing. Perhaps vessels like the Savannah will answer this for us. P.S. Is the name Savannah intended to be an irony, as Europa is a covered with plains of ice?

A very good picture!

Top modeling, super render :)

Excellent image! I agree with you on modeling. I have Carrara and Hexagon, but I rarely use them, though I suspect it's a matter of what I learned first and how I approach a design, rather than any intrinsic superiority of any product.

Outstanding modeling and render!!!! You do more complex models with a "simple landscape program" then those using the likes of 3dMAX or a Lightwave. My hat is off to you! Plus ... your stuff looks like space exploration would really look like if they ever get the funding.

Fantastic work, as usual, my friend. I'm surprised anyone has the audacity to judge your models as anything less then authentic. I grew up watching the Moon landings and Apollo missions - back when they were popular and millions of people were glued to their TV set to watch every mission. Your models take me back to that time. Thank you for that.

As usual, an impecable render! Just suberb. Realistic details and a striking POV. Great modeling, too.

Totally agree, it's not the tools, it's the vision, patience and learned skills.

We were told to leave Europa alone. I predict nothing good will come of this

Superb modelling as always for an entirely believable vision of the future. Perhaps Europa holds some key to life? We can only hope. Thanx for uploading such a hi-res image too - its a joy to cast my eye over the detail that you've put into this! Speaking of which, I believe there is great satisfaction in the time it takes to create such a complex model - using Bryce simply increases that sense of satisfaction. Keep up the good work!! Was the starfield done in Bryce too?

Great job on the model. The astronaut is particularly impressive. Kudos also for showing us such a positive vision of future space travel. We need a lot more stuff like this to balance out all the negative war-mongering stuff that is currently so popular. I have used a number of 3D programs over the years; they all have their strengths and weaknesses. I think you are wise to stick with the program you obviously know so well. The important thing is to experience the sheer joy of creating as one works. You art depicts the depth of joy and wonder that space exploration can provide when we let it bring out the best in ourselves. Keep up the inspired work! :-)

it is always worth taking the time to look at your works. Excellent across the board IMHO.
