Description

I've been struggling with this one for days, now (when I should have been finishing the new costume for the summer renfest-season) and I guess this is better than the other attempts have been. This started out with a question: if you have some missiles coming at you, and don't have weapons to take them out, how do you avoid gettng killed? The logical answer seemed to be decoy flares, which are already used by aircraft and submarines. So I tried to do a render with some in use. I think this one is only partially successful, so I'll probably revisit the idea at some point. Suggestions on this one are especially wecome! Thanks for checking it out, and hope you've all had a good weekend.

Cool ship - the mat you've chosen is very good! I didn't immediately see the connection between the ship and the decoy flares - it was only apparent once I'd read the text. Perhaps you could add more of them, in a line, closer to the ship? This would reinforce that they were in fact launched from the ship. Perhaps also some exhaust from the ship and the missiles to add a little sense of movement to this scene as well. Great detailing on your ship too!

I agree with SunsetHunter : you must add numerous flares. IMHO, doing it in Bryce is not the best way, it's much easier to make all light effects using a graphic software (Photoshop). Have a look to that example (not ship but Sci-Fi) [http://perso.numericable.fr/~boipierr/3d/ecity.htm] of a simple Bryce render with a lot of graphic enhancements done in postwork. Keep on having fun with Bryce !
