Hi, everyone! Thanks for dropping by at Gene's Place.
BIO
I'm a 59-year-old novice artist who only somewhat recently discovered Bryce. I live in USA's Pacific Northest (Spokane, WA). I don't have a life, but I *DO* have Bryce, DAZ Studio and a Renderosity Gallery...;^D
Discovering "consumer" 3D applications at a time when they're rapidly becoming both more powerful and more affordable has been a Godsend for me. My finger/manual dexterity is abysmal, making attempts at "traditional" art laughable. On a shoestring budget I cobbled together a Power Mac G4 system with just enough power to run Bryce 5.5 and DAZ Studio at slightly-faster-than-molasses speed. At the start of June '06 I bought Bryce 5.5 Jumpstart and installed DAZ Studio. I've been experimenting with Bryce extensively on a daily basis since then, and I'm learning a little about DS as I go.
Update May '08: I no longer consider myself a novice at 3D art, but I still have a lot to learn. I can't say I really *understand* the software (a lot of 3D art terminology still goes over my head - LOL!) but I'm comfortable enough with Bryce and DS to feel OK calling myself an artist. I've acquired a few other apps (most notably Carrara and MojoWorld) and promised myself that I'll at least learn the basics of one of them this year. I now work with a much more adequate system, a Digital Audio Power Mac G4 with dual 1.6 GHz CPUs and 1.5 GB RAM. I dream of a Quad Xeon Mac Pro, but what I have now should suffice until I hit the lottery...;^O

To be honest, this looks quite dark on my monitor. However it looks from what I cansee, to be an awesome piece.

As The Bryster mentions, it's dark on my monitor too. But I think the darkness enhances the overall feel to the work. Well worth the extra effort to port it over to Bryce and your use of radial lights. I really like the piece. Would work well for a book cover, inside illustration or poster.

Great work with dark and red tones. I like your image.

great work; I sure won't complain to him about anything :-) Wonder how it would look with the hammer down and sparks flying?

The light across the trolls upper body and face - as well as the arm guards are all much better in this image. Well done. Never considered how to make 'molten hot iron'. Did you use True Ambiance?

As my lighting usually comes from C, D or AA, what can I say but................Awesome gene Peace

Very well.....Bryce is a wonderful program I play with it now and then haven't done anything pose worthy.I won't say anymore for the fear of sounding dumb but since I installed a newer version of DS It doesn't have the option to save to use in Bryce...If someone ask I'll just say I didn't say that but how do you do that?...........................Excellent work.
