Description
This image brought together three great passions of. Dinosaurs, war machines and Star wars (more for inspration). The scene is based on a Saharan desert battle scene, as might have taken place during the WWII. The SAS raiders, riding a recce/scout vehicle (based on an Oviraptor) chance upon an Afrika Korp patrol (based on T-rex) and the ensuing skirmish that follows. This image is neither of the past nor sure, simple set in a galaxy far-far away (where wheels were not invented! ;-)).
The image has been completely modelled in Bryce. including the missile trail and explosion! I intend to create a series out of these charecters. Look forawrd to your comments and suggestions!

Pretty wild. I'd love to see a close-up of the T. rexes.

Unbelievable modelling! Great composition. But it does look a bit static.

Wow! Great conceptualization! Would love to see closeups of all, the T-Rex, Pterodactyl etc. Looking forward to viewing the series!

Nice stuff, despite the absence of wheels! The detailing in the image is amazing!
Awara
Gadzooks! Great stuff!

Another remarkable image here humorix! You get more done in the native app than a lot of folks do in the post (very impressive FX!)Keep up the great work!

Not much to comment! I admire your patience in modelling. Must have taken loooong time... Great stuff!!!

Fascinating models. One thing I'd suggest is trying to put a more interesting landscape reflection into the windows of the smaller bots...but that's a minor crit. Good Work.

Ten again, because you only used Bryce for this awesome image! Tell us your technique? Do you model each model and then merge them together?

Hi Folks! Thanx for visiting and the comments and suggestions. The terrain is reflected on the screens of the recce craft (Oviraptors) but its more apperant in the original image (which is a 29 MB Tiff file, 3000 pixels plus), but if you were to look carefully you'll definitely find it on the foreground craft, if not the mid ground one (which has a strong flare on its screen). In fact I've used small terrains and stuck them at places on the limb of the craft to denote dust/dirt. Which isn't all that evident in this image. I do intend to write an article on how I model with bryce. But in a jist, I use booleans extensively. I generally first visualize it by drawing it out, subdivide it into shapes and then try and derive the shape by perorming various booleans with the primitives provided in Bryce. The cockpits have been created using the symmetrical lattice, which I drew out in the terrain editor. The tails, missile trail etc have been created by multi-replication. Hope this information proves to be useful.

Hi! A small clarification for those who care to know...these aren't robots but are vehicles, much like Tanks, armoured personnel carriers and Jeeps! The whole idea is its a civilization which didn't invent wheels, so created vehicles which walked! :-P Farfetched but thats what speculative fiction is all about!!!

i am really impressed. absolute great work. only the explosion seems to be too yellow.
